Pirate Party Favors

Remember Captain Hook from Peter Pan, and Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean? If you are looking for some ideas on hosting a pirate themed party, you needn't look anywhere else for inspiration. Just watch the cartoon or the movie, and you will be able to get several ideas for the whole theme, including pirate party favor ideas. Kids love pirates and giving them appropriate favors to take back as a memory of the wonderful time they had at your kid's party, is the perfect way of saying thank you, and having them come back for more. Take a look at some pirate party favors you can give out to the little ones.

Some Great Ideas

Who said that pirate party favors have to be expensive? They can be affordable too, when you choose from these ideas. In fact, you can even make some of these favors yourself.

The All-Famous Eye Patch
While neither Captain Hook nor Captain Jack Sparrow wore an eye patch, it is something that is easily associated with a pirate. The eye patch can be given to every kid as he/she enters the party, and then take it back home as a memorable pirate party favor.

Necklaces and Trinkets
Noticed all the funky, colorful trinkets that Captain Jack Sparrow wore in his hair? You can make them yourself as beads are inexpensive and making these trinkets is very simple. Just pin them on a band that can be tied around the head, with the trinkets hanging from it. Add in some funky but long beaded necklaces that can also be a part of a pirate's ensemble.

Bandanas
Bandanas are another accessory you will find in Jack Sparrows attire. They are cheap and make for great favors. Just get some black and white, or red and white bandanas, and give them out as party favors. Specific pirate bandanas are also available, but may be slightly expensive.

The Hook
Of course, the identity of Captain Hook can now be given to the little kids at the pirate themed party. These again can be homemade, as you can cut them out from foam, paint them in a metallic color, and attach them to a sock. The sock can be worn around the fist, and voila! The little ones have their own hooks. Instead of foam, you can also purchase plastic hooks and make these for the kids.

Photographs
By photographs we mean, Polaroid images of every child dressed as a pirate. All it requires is a Polaroid camera. Have the little ones strike the right pose, and capture the moments, and give them away party favors. In fact, you can have them all pose with the birthday boy/girl. This makes the favors even more memorable.

Treasure Hunt
No pirate party can be complete without a treasure hunt. Chart out a pirate treasure map for the treasure hunt. Divide the kids into teams, and have the same number of any of the aforementioned gifts packed in the basket as a treasure. Every member of the team gets one. If you want you can have different gifts for different teams. This way the kids get to play fun pirate party games, and get suitably rewarded too.

Now that you're ready with the invitations, the food, and the favors, what are you waiting for? Host the best pirate party in town, and leave a fun memory in the minds of the little ones. Good Luck!
