pirate costumes for children

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Children love to dress up in pirate costumes. If you are planning to have a fancy-dress party for kids then this would make a very popular theme for it. You might think that it will limit things a little by just organizing it around pirates but it will actually prove to make it all a lot easier. Instead of having to cater for so many different things, absolutely everything to do with your party can hinge on the swashbuckling theme.

If you have more than one child of your own then you have already solved several problems. You are not going to have to think of ideas for what your children are going to wear. If you are just sticking to pirate costumes then it will make it a lot simpler. As long as each of your children is happy with their outfit then you are onto a winner.

Depending on the amount of work that you are prepared to do (and if you have someone who is going to help), there are all sorts of activities that will fit around the theme of pirates costumes. As far as the children are concerned, if they are dressed up in pirate costumes then they want to behave like buccaneers.

Organizing a treasure hunt for all of the children to take part in would be a great idea. Kids love things like this and it will keep them all occupied for quite a while. You could perhaps design some treasure maps on your computer and print them off beforehand. They don’t have to be anything too elaborate as long as they are going to fit in with the rest of the party. You could even tie them all up with sashes and give them to the kids to wear on the belts of their pirate costumes until it is time to look for the treasure.

pirate costumes and the good old days

Do you miss the the good old days? The times when piracy was a legal profession; when drinking rum was part of your job and hoisting your sail was a daily ritual. No matter how modern aged you’ve become or how far away you live from a the sea you can still enjoy some of piracy at least one night a year.

During Halloween anything is possible. So if you’ve been looking for a buxom wench and not having luck, you’ve not been looking in the right places. Get into an adult pirate Halloween costume this time round and you might find your perfect mate.

What woman could resist your impersonation Captain Jack Sparrow? If you’re not wearing a Pirates of the Caribbean fancy dress you could really miss the boat.

If you’re a traditional pirate you’ll like the Cap’n Cutthroat Elite Collection Costume. Now You’ll be able to pillage your neighborhood trick or treating in style. If you’re more of a buccaneer, out for a good time on the high seas or dry land you’ll fit right into the Rustic Pirate Elite Collection Plus Costume.

There is also the option of introducing some competitive events such as races, plastic sword fights and the like. Take advantage of the seaside shops. They stock all manner of toys that will go really well with your pirate costumes. You will find muskets, swords and even eye patches that can easily be incorporated into your day.

Water pistols are a must if you are planning on having some battles over sunken treasure and who it belongs to. Don’t worry if there are no children in your group. Why should it only be kids that have all of the fun? Try splitting your friends into two teams and organising some contests that will showcase their swashbuckling skills. Perhaps the two sides could wear different coloured pirate costumes and have fitting names such as, ‘The Black Buccaneers’ or ‘The Jolly Red Rogers’.

After everyone is tired of running around the beach shouting, ‘Ahoy there’ and ‘Shiver me timbers’ then why not unwind down at the boating lake? This will still be in keeping with your themed day out and is a great way of relaxing as well.

So, there is an idea for something that is a little bit more interesting to do during the summer this year. Apart from the purchasing of your pirate costumes it is also not going to cost you too many ‘pieces of eight’ to organise. However many people you choose to invite along on your trip, it is sure to be a day that everyone will remember.
