For children, these little fidgets, to celebrate their birthday in the traditional way for adults - sitting at a festive table - is sheer boredom. To make the celebration fun and memorable for your son and his friends for a long time, arrange for them a real holiday - "Pirate's Birthday".
Necessary
Red fabric, thick black fabric, black elastic, white paper sheets, tea bags, linen twine, plasticine, several sheets of Whatman paper, paints, face painting, empty champagne bottles, wax candles, colored cardboard, chocolate gold coins, blue tablecloth, small cardboard
Instructions
Step 1
Make birthday invitations. Be sure to involve the birthday person in the production, because for him the anticipation of the holiday is also a holiday. Write invitations on "old" paper. To age regular paper, stain it with a damp tea bag. After the paper is dry, write your invitation text on it. The design of invitations leaves a lot of room for imagination, ask your child what he would like to write to his friends. When the invitations are ready, roll them up in a tube, tie them with linen twine. Fasten the twine with a plasticine seal. The result will be real pirate messages. Let the child hand over the invitations to friends himself - this will give him great pleasure.
Step 2
Prepare pirate accessories for each guest: a scarf and an eye patch. A scarf can be cut from a piece of fabric. For the bandage, you need a black elastic band and an oval made of dense black fabric, which must be sewn together. Also stock up on special face paint. Anyone can draw stubble and scars. The "Pirates" will surely be delighted to arm themselves with the knives and sabers you have prepared. Cut them out of thick cardboard, cover the blades with foil, and the handles with colored paper.
Step 3
Decorate the wall with a large pirate ship. To make it, glue several Whatman paper. Draw the ship with paints. To make the ship look more natural, first study the images of pirate ships on the Internet. During the holiday, do not forget to take general photographs against the background of such a ship and then present to all guests as a long memory.
Step 4
Decorate the festive table in a pirate style: cover it with a blue tablecloth with cardboard decorations sewn on it: fish and coins. Place one or more (depending on the size of the table) bottles of candles filled with wax on the table. It is better not to light candles to avoid accidents. Find a place on the table for a chest filled with chocolate gold coins. The chest can be made from an ordinary cardboard box by pasting it with colored paper.
Step 5
Make a birthday script in advance, come up with entertainment. On the Internet there are many ideas for games for little "pirates", for example, treasure hunting, throwing gold coins, solving charades. If children are invited to a party with their parents, consider in what capacity the parents can take part in the games.
