As the fair maidens arrived, they were crowned princesses for the day with handmade tiaras from pipe cleaners. The little gentlemen arrived, and they were dubbed knights for the day with their pipe cleaner swords.
All the princesses and knights together!
They were told the tale of a princess who had been locked up at the top of a tower by the fire-breathing dragon. She was soon to marry her prince, when she was captured by the dragon and put away. In order to save her, the princess and knights needed to find the "King's Treasure" and pay a ransom to the dragon. So the King asked them to search high and low around the castle to find the golden nuggets (chocolate). Their task was to collect at least 25 gold pieces to free the princess. The knights and princesses succeeded at the task, and even collected more than 25 pieces!
Counting the king's gold
The presented the treasure to the dragon, but he did not release her until they were able to unlock the door. In order to open the lock, they would need to successfully land the "beanbag" into the tiaras. Each princess and knight had a turn, and they were able to "unlock" the door. The princess was free at last!
"Unlocking" the door
Once the princess was free, she was ready to marry her princes. But wait! She found that the dragon had turned her prince into a frog. In order to change him back into human form, she must "kiss" him with true love's kiss.
"Kissing" the frog
They turned the frog back into a prince and were married to live happily every after!
Next the princess and knights worked on a craft. The princesses decorated foam tiaras, while the knights decorated their shields.
Afterwards, they ate their royal meal, and sang to the princess of honor.
They yummily devoured their dessert.
and their ended their day at N's castle! We had a blast!
