Put the Hat on Strawberry Shortcake: A variation of pin the tail on the donkey. Blow up a coloring page of Strawberry Shortcake (your daughter can color it for you), make multiple hats to fit on her head, and place tape behind each hat. Twirl each party guest around three times and direct them to where Strawberry is, and let them try to put the hat on her head.

Find the Berry Friend: Hide stickers of Strawberry Shortcake's friends around a room. Let the girls search for the stickers, and give them a time limit. When the kids find them, they get to keep them. Whoever finds the most wins the game.
