This is very simple and effectively achieved by simply having a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/389\/Large_Yellow_Disposable_Paper-Poly_Tablecover\/\">tablecloth<\/a> (in this case iconic LEGO yellow) and matching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/319\/Yellow_Paper_Plates\/\">paper plates<\/a> &#8211; spaced out just like a brick. I would have preferred a reusable tablecloth but as it was it meant that it was easy to dispose of and I did not need to worry about any mess the children made. Our table has spaces for 8 people set out like this, but the effect can be made just the small utilising smaller tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Getting the Children involved in the LEGO Pirate Party<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/LEGO-pirate-cakes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19974\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/LEGO-pirate-cakes.jpg?resize=800%2C533\" alt=\"LEGO Pirate party cakes\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/LEGO-pirate-cakes.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/LEGO-pirate-cakes.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/LEGO-pirate-cakes.jpg?resize=768%2C512 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a>The children helped before the party by designing LEGO plates and a Pirate picture frame (image found from the internet by the children, used for illustrative purposes only). They then looked for ideas that they could utilise (see my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pinkoddy\/lego\/\">LEGO<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pinkoddy\/pirates\/\">Pirates<\/a> Pinterest boards). Then they made and decorated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/224\/Pirate_Cake_Decorations\/\">Pirate cakes<\/a>, LEGO Pizzas (by cutting into squares and adding pepperoni), LEGO marshmallows (using strawberry icing to stick on some strawberry laces cut into cubes) and LEGO brick juice cartons (simply wrap the carton in paper and stick on some LEGO circles).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Pirate Fabulous Partyware<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fabulous Partyware have a range of fantastic party ware. We used the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/88\/Pirate_Themed_Party_Cups\/\">Pirate cups<\/a> as an alternative to using bowls to place our snacks in. We had a nice range of things such as cucumber, melon, grapes, mixed fruit and nuts, and cherries. I am sure that party sausages, sweets, crisps and the like would fit in them equally as well but we were having a bit of a healthy balance with the pizza and marshmallow bricks. You could of course just use them for drinks!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/lego-pirate-snack-pots.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19975\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/lego-pirate-snack-pots.jpg?resize=800%2C533\" alt=\"LEGO Pirate party snack pots or drinks cups\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/lego-pirate-snack-pots.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/lego-pirate-snack-pots.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/lego-pirate-snack-pots.jpg?resize=768%2C512 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The boys also loved the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/136\/Pirates_Party_Hats\/\">Pirate Party hats<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/208\/Pirate_helium_balloons\/\">Pirate helium balloons<\/a> (no helium provided) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fabulouspartyware.com\/kids-party-supplies\/471\/Multicoloured_balloons_x_12\/\">multi-coloured balloons<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why not have an impromptu party of your own (ours was just to make the Summer holidays more fun), or celebrate a birthday even!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One lucky reader can have a LEGO Pirate Party Bundle!
