Our Mardi Gras Program was for kids 5+ and we hosted this program at night. Next time I think we'd consider an after school event as the turnout was low. During any of the craft time we played the cd Jazz for Kids; Sing, Clap, Wiggle and Shake.

Felt - Princess and the Pea and the Pancake
Using the story The Princess and the Pea by Harriet Ziefert, I rewrote the story so that the pea is hidden under 10 pancakes, 10 splashes of maple syrup and 10 pats of butter. I cut the shapes for each ingredient. I passed all the shapes out randomly and then had the kids add them to a plate I brought so we could see how high the stack got. I will include the rewritten script at the bottom of the post.
