This party works perfectly for boys or girls alike. I used lots of props to make the theme come to life and the children really enjoyed getting involved.
- Edible bits
- Ahoy there cupcakes (Vanilla cupcakes with buttercream swirls and pirate toppers)
- Oreo coins ( spray Oreo biscuits with gold and sliver Dr Oetker food spray)
- Marshmallow pirate heads ( With an edible pen draw face details onto large marshmallows, then melt some candy melts, dip the large marshmallows in the top to create a hat, stand on parchment until dry, push a lolly stick into the base of each to serve)
- Macaroon clams (Make any macaroon recipe, colour and top with matching sprinkles before baking, fill with buttercream and a large fondant pearl)
- Cannon ball bonbons (sweets from Tesco)
- Treasure chest cake (There are lots of how to's on Pinterest)
- Selection of sandwiches (Little finger sandwiches 2 bites and they are gone)
- Mini scotch eggs (one bite morsels)
- Mini sausages
- Chicken nuggets
- Themed props
- Helium Balloons (I love the height that helium balloons create)
- Walk the plank (I used 2 upturned plant pots and a short plank of wood, a blue rain poncho)
- Dig for treasure chest (my friend Elli's old chest filled with play sand and toy jewels)
- Inflatable Parrots, shark and palm trees (These really help to set the scene the boys especially loved the shark see links)
- Skull bunting (from B&M stores)
- Red and white stripped table cloths
- Ships wheel
- Eye patches
- Telescopes
- Gallon food boxes ( savoury bits went into the boxes)
- Printable drink bottle labels (I found a good selection on line, see the link below)
- Handmade food labels ( A really fun way to display whats available)
- Skull (a halloween tea-light holder)
- Glass fish & chips bowl (My vase which had been put trough the diswasher filled with fish & chip shaped crisps)
- Pirates ship mast (made from 2 wooden broom handles a Childs pirate flag and some old material)
- Tattoo parlour (I set a little corner for a tattoo parlour the children loved it)
- Pirate punch (I used my drinks dispenser filled with pink lemonade with a pirates punch label )
