 "We were absolutely delighted with how beautifully smooth Charlotte's birthday party was - it was, to say the very least, the easiest, non stressful party I have organised and everyone who attended commented on your absolute professionalism and wonderful way with children.  Charlotte had a wonderful time and she clearly felt very comfortable being the centre of attraction - not something very easily achieved with my first-born!  Thank you so very, very much, for the care and attention you provided and thank you for making my job and my husband's very, very easy on the day.

The priceless gift of a child's smile and laughter should be every parents reward for taking the time to host their child's birthday party but very often the reality is chaos and stress for both parents and child.

Mr Giggles knows how important childhood memories are to both children and their parents especially when it is your child's first birthday party.

Hence the reason for suggesting, especially for four year old children, an adventure party built around the theme of
"Peter Pan, Tinkerbell Captain Hook"

"Stop ye pillaging, Lend me ye ear
 I have a message for ye to hear
The treasure's been stolen and must be found
 So let's set sail Treasure Island bound"

Why Peter Pan 

For the past few years Pirate Pete has been invited by parents like you to entertain at special "Peter Pan Theme Birthday Parties" aimed specifically at four year olds.  Mums and Dads know that all young children love the Peter  Pan video.   They love play acting.

Girls simply adore Tinkerbell and every young boy would love to be Peter Pan.  I know as a child I wanted to be Peter Pan and even tried to fly like him by jumping of our family fireplace.   Not a good idea as I found out!!!

I am firmly of the opinion that what you, a parent, is doing  when hosting your child’s party is building childhood memories which will last a lifetime so the extra effort is well worth it.  I also believe that four year olds like to be guided and to be shown how to have fun.

For this reason I heartedly recommend to parents who wish to host a Peter Pan Theme Party and who wish to hire a children’s entertainer to choose very carefully and only go for a maximum of one hour of structured entertainment.

Pirate Pete has entertained many three and four year olds for the complete two hours party and they have been very, very successful but for a number of reasons including keeping down the cost of the party I still recommend when hiring an entertainer to go for one hour for four year olds and under.  This allows time after the entertainer for the children to use their imagination and to create their own fantasies that they act out for the remainder of the party.

DECORATE YOUR HOME /HALL
Let me say right off there are many advantages to hosting your child's first "real" theme birthday party with friends and guests from nursery in your own home.   It really is much easier than you imagine so think carefully before hiring a hall.

Creating the Peter Pan theme in your home as the children arrive is easy and here you have a number of choices.   If you look at the maps of Neverland you'll see rainbows everywhere.  You can decorate your home with rainbows made out of crêpe streamers.  Place these on the walls and on the doors coming into the party.

Suspend glow in the dark stars and Christmas lights on gold ribbon pinned into the ceiling creates a very visual impression. Remember child safety and do not hang them too low.

Alternatively you could go more towards the Captain Hook pirate theme and have a pirate arrangement in your home.   See also Pirate Pete’s page for more ideas.

Another idea continuing your Peter Pan theme is to arrange an area of your room as a Peter Pan “hide out” for the “lost boys and girls”.   Use either a cupboard say under the stairs or a child’s small tent for a “hide out”.

Completely clear out your cupboard or tent and fill with toys which fit the Peter Pan theme.  If your child wants a Peter Pan theme for his birthday party then chances are you will have lots of suitable toys.  Think fish, little mermaids, nautical toys, pirate items, Barbie dolls for the girls etc.   

Children love to squeeze into small spaces.  Remember when you were four years old?  Everything was an adventure.

Better still why not combine all three?

Outside, if it is a nice summers day, have a paddling pool filled with suitable toys and let the children’s imagination carry them away to Neverland to face Captain Hook on the high seas.

PETER PAN COSTUMING
The Birthday girl of course has got to be Tinkerbell.  Either a specific Tinkerbell dress-up outfit or a Fairy/Princess outfit  with wings.   Girls love to have their face painted and hair made “fancy”, sparkly earrings and please don’t forget…….glitter all over!   Everybody knows that no fairy is complete without ample quantities of fairy dust.

The Birthday boy loves to be Peter Pan dressed in green.   Guests should be invited to come  appropriately attired.   Children love to dress up.  Most will come as the main characters, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, pirates or mermaids.

Those with even more imagination can dress as Wendy or Jane (from the new film) dressed in a long pink nightgown similar to both girls style, John  can wear a men's white shirt lined and for the very young brother or sister pink pyjamas just like Michael.

PETER PAN INVITATIONS
You can purchase theme birthday party invitations or make your own easily on your computer.
Using clip art either chose a picture of a Tinkerbell type character if a girl party or, if a boy, a Pirate as the main character. The other characters can be incorporated to add to the Peter Pan theme.

Using a Pirate Map as a background word your invitations to say:

“(your child’s name) would like to invite you to fly with us at (time of party) in a Peter Pan Theme Birthday Party Adventure to Neverland.

Just follow the map to (your address)

Please bring your faith and trust.  We will supply the magic dust."

Consider decorating your invitations with pictures of a Captain Pirate and a pirate ship or fairies.

Roll up your invitations into a scroll and secure each one with gold ribbon.  For a nice touch you could use the small plastic water bottles you keep accumulating to place the scrolls inside!  Remove the label and add a small amount of  sand and pixie dust glitter and place the invitation inside.  Leave the end of ribbon hanging out for easy removal.

PARTY FOOD
The big message here is to keep things simple.  Simple food is the best and easiest for you. Fish fingers are the obvious first choice, The main thing is to keep the food simple and little.  After all the party children will be very excited and more interested in your party games and other activities.

However be creative. Call your eating area Mermaids Cove or Treasure Bay.   Use green and blue streamers to depict seaweed and hang green and blue balloons out of reach.  Cooking foil suitably placed could create  the effect of water streaming down to a pool on the table. Disguise the edges of the foil with sand or small rocks to create a cove and maybe have a cave for the pirates to hide their treasure.

You could purchase a theme party table cloth to match your napkins, plates and invitations or alternatively decorate a plain table cloth as a pirate map. This could double up later for “pin the flag on the hidden treasure” game.

Your centre piece could be a small pirate chest with jewels, necklaces and other pirate booty such as chocolate coins flowing out onto the table. Inside you could place the ubiquitous booty bags for handing out at the end of the birthday party.

Alternatively your centre piece could be a birthday cake made in the shape of a pirate ship or desert island.

If your child is really into Peter Pan then chances are that they will have toys with a Peter Pan Theme which could easily be used as a feature of decoration.

PETER PAN PARTY ACTIVITIES
With this age group safety must be your first priority. Young children adore hands-on activities. When guests arrive and after they have had their face painted lead them through your imaginary Neverland to an area where they can colour in suitable pictures you have purchased of Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and other suitable images fitting the Peter Pan Theme.

It is possible to purchase very reasonably small wooden or plastic pirate chests.  Spray painted them gold for the children and let them glue on jewels. They can take them home after the party filled with their booty bags and other items made.

Make toilet roll telescopes, pirate patches out of card and bandanas from strips of cloth.  These are especially useful if a child comes without a costume.

Arrange to play Pin the Feather on Captain Hook/Peter Pan using a poster or utilise your Treasure Map.

Walking the Plank can encourage imaginative play.  Just mark out a "plank" on the ground using a piece of rope.   The game can be made more demanding for older children by introducing a blindfold. 

Try and create both quiet spots and exiting spots in your theme birthday party.   When things calm down a bit we you may wish to give the children feather dusters to use as feather swords.   Sit back and watch them chasing each other (and their mothers) around the room with their feather swords giving some serious tickling and loads of laughter.  If hiring Pirate Pete to entertain at your themed birthday party ask him to make balloon pirate swords, parrots butterflies etc for all the children to take home after the party.

Have a Peter Pan video at hand for those times when you want to calm the children down and to stop them becoming overly hot and exited.
 

Hunt the Treasure is always a firm birthday party favourite for three and four year old children.   They love to explore.  Explain to the children that Peter Pan has hidden Captain Hook's treasure somewhere in the house and you need their help to find it.

Hide it somewhere easy to find.   Use clues that four year old children can relate to.   Four year old children know their colours so incorporate that into your clues eg “If the treasure is going to be seen then look for the colour green”.  Or “You won’t create a stink if you find the colour pink”.

In the film, Captain Hook’s treasure was hidden inside a cave at Hangman’s Cove so why not create your own Hangman’s Cove.  This could be the space beneath your stairs.  Place a large Skull and Crossbones on the door and when the party children arrive at where the treasure is hidden build up the atmosphere by telling the children someone must have placed it there when the children were eating.  Get the children totally involved. Ask them “Who do you think it was?”  Feed their imagination and watch their fantasies explode. 

Line your Pirate Treasure Chest with gold or silver fabric and fill with goodie bags, dress-up beads and jewels. Let the children wear their treasure jewels to join in the spoils of the loot.

When the children are eating you could place giant footprints leading to the treasure and “plant” the treasure box inside.  Say to the children when they are finished eating  “Did you hear that?”   “It sounds like someone walking.   I wonder who it?  We are all eating, it cannot be one of us!  Sounds like Captain Hook walking.  I wonder if he is hiding his pirate treasure.  Shall we try and find it?  Shall we be brave?  Very, very brave?

Lead the party children slowly and please remember some three and four year olds may be a little afraid so don’t over act here.  Most children however will find this very exiting .

PARTY FAVOURS
A goodie bag is almost obligatory these days at birthday parties.   Let the children take home the pirate chests they decorated at the beginning together with their coloured in pictures.  Fill the goody bags with some sweets, a couple of tattoos, some glow-in-the-dark stars a balloon and of course a bit of birthday cake.

HIRING A CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINER
Hiring a professional children's entertainer is a wise decision as he or she will be properly trained and have the necessary experience to enhance the children's natural sense of fun and imagination.  It also leaves you free to relax and enjoy your child's birthday party.  Make sure however that your entertainer has much experience with this age group as they present a special challenge to the entertainer.
