Hey, friends! Most of you already know that Little Crafter chose to have a Pirate Party for his 5th birthday. I’ve posted about many of the different pieces of the celebration individually, but in case you missed some, here’s the round-up!

The Decorations

Printable Signs:
The signs I made for labeling each different “station” at the party can be downloaded from Google Drive by clicking the links below. They’re sized to fit 8.5×11 paper; I actually printed mine on Silhouette Chipboard.

Tutorial provided for how I made some special pennant banners with help from Cammie, my beloved Silhouette Cameo.

The Favors

For kids ages 2-10:
See what Little Crafter put inside each of these bandanas!

For mateys ages 2 and under:
We put together something different for our smallest guests since some of the other favor contents were either choking hazards or not baby-proof in some other way. Each “baby” favor contained a pirate rubber ducky {from Walmart} and a Take ‘n Toss Sippy Cup. I used Cammie to cut out the anchor design from Pic Monkey in permanent adhesive vinyl and applied one to each cup.

The Food

Jake and Friends Cupcakes:
See how we made these festive and fun cupcakes, and the special Jake toppers too!

The Activities

Pirate Transformation Station:
We greeted each little guest {ages 10 and under} by giving him/her the opportunity to transform into a pirate! Headbands, tattoos, stickers, face paint…what more could a matey ask for?

Treasure Excavation Station:
I think this was the kids’ favorite activity; digging for “buried treasure” in a container filled with sand.

Spyglass Creation Station:
Little pirates need spyglasses…why not make them out of old paper towel rolls, construction paper, and stickers?

Estimation Station:
We wanted to make sure there were activities for mateys of all ages, not just the 10 and under crowd, so we fixed up this guessing game.
