Luke really wanted a pirate party, and as a mama who doesn't really like the skull and cross bones symbol, I took on the challenge of creating a pirate birthday party without using a single skull and cross bone image! It was a challenge to say the least, but a fun one and Luke was SO excited about his party! The kids loved the treasure hunt (I made little cards and let them hunt at their own leisure, because I thought they were a bit young to go on a traditional treasure hunt), they had fun walking the "plank" and playing in the water, and I think the telescope craft table was a big hit. We just covered paper towel rolls with construction paper and let the kids use stickers and markers to decorate. Huge thanks to my mom and sister who helped me with a lot of things getting ready for the party!! Most of all my sister made the cake and cupcakes and my mom made the polka dot bandannas for the kids and the plank!!
Lots of pictures of the fun birthday party!
of course I used lots of Polka dots!!
you can see the "treasure map" in the bottom right corner
