Come on, get your fancy dress costumes on and don't forget the eye patch!  Kids love dressing up and especially as PIRATES!

Create your own Pirate Treasure Chest at the party.  Paint and decorate a paper mache chest in black, gold and silver paint, decorate with gems and pirate stickers.  The kids will have so much fun!

Go Treasure Hunting when the chests are dry.  Get the kids to find their own little treasures e.g. rings, bracelets, marbles, chocolate coins, sweeties, bouncy balls etc.

Instead of trying to fill bags with lots of bits, why not get the kids to decorate their own bag which is a great party activity and will keep the kids entertained for a little while.  They can draw, colour and stick lots of great decorations on to make their bag unique.  No sticky glue mess, just simple colouring and sticking fun.  Its always great to see the end results - usually quite intriguing!  The bag can then be filled with anything they do, make or win at the party with just a few sweeties.

They will be more impressed with their party bag than what's in it!

Birthday Party Fun! 

Time flashes by so quick these days, I think we are all trying to fit in so much more, constantly juggling work, kids, shopping, cleaning and an attempt of a social life too.  Suddenly, your son/daughter's birthday is this week.  Panic!  Deciding, finding and buying the best present ever is one thing, but organising a last minute party is another.  We quite often receive phone calls from customers wanting to place an urgent last minute order for craft party materials for a party this Saturday or even tomorrow!

Sometimes, parents have organised a fantastic garden party with a bouncy castle or a barbecue and games and then the good old English weather knocks your plans completely.  Plan B into action - as the heavens are about to open.  So, a Super Express Order is made for a fun packed craft party for the children to enjoy together.  The good thing about this though, is that if the weather does turn out to be ok on the day, the party can be held inside or in the garden just as easily so its a win win situation.

We had a phone call today at 3.30 for a party tomorrow afternoon.  The order was placed, processed and shipped within the hour, so these kids will enjoy a fun crafty time tomorrow.  We don't know the reason for the late order, not our place to ask why, but it just shows how easy it is to organise, order, receive and run a Craft Party is. 

We hope they have a great time!
