Pierce's Pirate & Mermaid Party

We had a ball at our pirates and mermaid party which was thrown for our daughter and our son. For the craft we had a sand art station as well as a color your own treasure box we had filled with art supplies as the favor. Guests took turns walking the plank and playing catch the ring on the hook. We then broke the kids into teams and had a water bucket relay and ended it with a canon ball fight.

• What People Ate

  White almond cupcakes topped with chocolate dipped cake balls shaped like crabs, pirates and mermaids, sand pail marshmallows, ombre cake with ruffled swiss buttercream, ice-cream sundaes with a topping bar, peanut butter and jam starfish sandwiches, grapes fruit cups and snacks.

• What People Drank

  Water bottles and juice boxes

• Party Favors

  Each guest took home their sand art, a treasure chest they each decorated filled with art supplies, their costume (girls wore tiaras, flower garlands, bracelets and boys wore handkerchiefs, pirate eye patches and tattoos.) Each child grabbed an extra goodie from the treasure chest on the way out!

• Activities / Games

  As guests entered they dressed as either a pirate or mermaid, had their faces painted and put on a tattoo. We then headed outside and had each decorate a treasure chest. Next we had them make an ocean themed sand art piece. Games included walk the plank, a ring-hook toss, a water bucket relay and a canon ball fight.
