Plan a pirate party

Pirate Bash

We'll seize the buffet full of tasty booty, search for the shiniest treasure in the sky above the lake and toast our birthday captain with shark punch.

A pirate party can, with the simplest means into a truly great experience become. A few pirate-strong tips for crafting, dressing up and playing we have compiled here for you.

crafting: Aye, aye Captain

What does every true captain need? Exactly, a real pirate hat! With a pirate hat craft kit, every child can make their own hat and, as parents, you provide a great activity at any pirate party. As a keepsake. Or how about some bold window decals with a pirate motif? That way each child will have a little memento after the party that they can take home can take.

Face painting: Lightning-fast pirate look

Children love dressing up as pirates. You delight both boys and girls equally. Besides the eye patch, which you can get in any costume shop, the pirate scar, bushy eyebrows and perhaps also a beard as essential components of the costume. And you don't need much at all to face-paint your child as a pirate! Simply get black children's face paint, a sponge and, if needed, a pointed makeup brush. Start with the bushy eyebrows, then add the frightening scar. If your child wishes, then you also paint on with strong black strokes a messy beard – and the pirate face paint is ready!

Decorations: Hoist the sails

Everything at a glance: plates, cups, flags – with this party set, little pirate hearts will immediately beat faster. On the tables and the buffet, sand and shells bring a pirate-island feeling straight into your home or garden. Small pirate figures, cutlasses and hook hands peeking out from pretzel sticks here and there, the little treasure hunters will even find something to play with and discover in the most unusual corners.

Games: Treasure, come out

Reading maps and finding treasures, the great adventure of every sailor. With a treasure scavenger hunt every little pirate, boy or girl, really gets into the spirit of sailing. Simply from the home or garden draw a small map and mark with a cross where treasures might be hidden could be. For the treasure spray small stones with gold paint and distribute them. All pirates set out and whoever finds a gold piece can exchange it for candy or a pirate tattoo set to exchange.

Food: Fill the ship's belly

A treasure hunt makes hungry! So that pirates can continue sailing well fortified and moms and dads don't have to have to prepare, we have a seaworthy idea: Pirate pizza – what else? That way every child gets what they like, but visually such a build-your-own pizza tray offers lots of room for creative ideas. Top the pizzas as usual and sprinkle with cheese. Use pizza dough and colorful vegetables to lay out a treasure map, or model little skulls and place them on top. Bake. Pirate-delicious!

Of course the guest pirates want to know beforehand where the party will take place. With Invitation cards and boarding passes in business-card format, the birthday captain lures every sailor to the birthday island.

We wish you a pirate-strong party!
