Hey guys, I know you can help me!! I just had someone contact me about having a Peter Pan party for their son. Anyone done this? Do you have any ideas for activities for the kids (ages 3-5) related to Peter Pan for the kids to do? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!! I've done several Disney themed parties, but never Peter Pan!

TIA

We did a really cute one several years ago when my ds was turning 3. We got most of the ideas from the Disney Party Handbook by Alison Boteler? We found it at the library since I believe it is out of print but you can find it on Amazon. My new favorite site is birthdaypartyideas dot com. Real people send in their great ideas. Good luck and have fun!
 
We just had a peter pan night. I got the idea from the Disney theme thread.

We did Pirate ship pizzas and the kids made te flags for the pizza.
We put fruit on skewers for fruit on a sword. And made a dip for it.
We made newspaper pirate hats to wear...really cute!
Watched Peter Pan.
The kdis went on a treasure hunt with a real map...newspaper wet and crinkled, then dried and written on.

Lastly, we dusted the cupcakes with pixie dust.
I didn't come up with these ideas...they were just on that thread...

We did a pirate party for DS's 5th birthday...

One of their favorite stops along their treasure map was walking the plank. They walked across a board that was up off the floor. Below it I put a blow up alligator water toy from Dollar Tree. There were also pirate rubber duckies from Oriental Trading company. After they walked across, they got to pick out a rubber ducky.
 
We did a Peter Pan party for DDs 4th birthday a few years ago. We are honestly having a hard time topping it!

First, we let the kids dress up to come. They could be pirates, fairies, Peter, Wendy, Lost Boys, anything really. All of the kids LOVED dressing up. We had the party outside, so we had several "areas" set up.

The most amazing one was my DH used PVC pipe and streamers to create a pirate ship out of DDs swing set (one of the wooden ones with a Fort on top). The kids really enjoyed playing on that. We also had our screen tent set up and put our blow up mattress in there for the kids to bounce around on (this was the Lost Boys home). Simple, but the kids really enjoyed it. Like another poster, we did the beam and put some blue fabric and a crocodile under it for them to walk the plank.

The "big" activity was a treaure hunt that they all went on together. It took almost 30 min and involved all kinds of things for them to do. At the end of the hunt, I had a treasure chest filled with treats for them to take home. It was a blast.

Other things we did were follow the leader, decorate cookies to take home, read the Peter Pan story to them, and just let them free play.

It really was alot of fun and worth the effort. Every year DD wants to recreate that party!

Hope this helps with some ideas.

My daughter is having a Peter Pan Neverland, Fairy Party.
Here are the idea's I had for the Peter Pan part of the party. Hope this helps.

Peter Pan part of the Party

Decorations- star , crocodile and tinkerbell balloons. Fish netting, anchor, tulle, tee pee, pirate ship made out of boxes, flowers, neverland map, mermaid lagoon, bubble machine. Blue streamers , shells, gold coins, fish for mermaid lagoon.

Over front door “Gate Way to Neverland Second Star to the right” and a big star over it. The second star it placed in the back yard because that’s where Neverland is.


Costumes—Smee, Captain Hook, Wendy, Peter Pan, Lost Boys, Michael, John, Tiger Lilly, Pirates, fairies, Indians

Food—Pizza, Popcorn (Pirates Booty), cubed cheese with swords, Chicken “gold” nuggets, Crocodile Pickles - Pin raisins in a pickle for the eyes
* Captain Hook's Treats - First, make Rice Krispie bars. Then, shape each one into a hook and dip the bottoms in chocolate to make it look like Captain Hook's Sleeve, * PB&J telescope sandwiches - Take a slice of bread, remove the crust, spread peanut butter and jam and roll it up like a telescope
* Shark Gummy Fish
* Gold Fish Crackers
* Fresh fruit served in a treasure chest
* Pirate Chow - Mix trail mix and popcorn
* Shrimp Cocktail






Create an adventure through Never Land centered around a search for Hooks Treasure. Kids will progress through different areas of Never Land—The Nursery, Crocodile Creek, Pirate’s Cove, Mermaid Lagoon, Indian Camp, Skull Rock and the treasure, Finally to go to Pixie Hollow were all the fairies can relax.

When kids arrive they were greeted by Wendy (birthday girl) and taken to the Nursery (birthday girls bedroom) . Peter Pan CD will be playing kids can make tissue flowers for Fairy tea later and color Peter Pan pictures until all the guests arrive. Once everyone arrives Wendy the birthday girl says.
WENDY—“Children, Father said this is our last night in the nursery. Tomorrow we have to grow up. Let’s fly to Never Land and find Hook’s treasure!”
At this, Hook (birthday girls dad appears) and says
Hook—But only if ye can find me Treasure. I’ll give you the first clue!
(Birthday girl changes from Wendy into Tinkerbell costume.)
Hook--Off to Never Land, just follow the pixie-Through the green but watch out it gets tricky. Along the creek, walk single file. Sit where you like, and watch for the crocodile!”
This will take the kids to Crocodile creek . Where the crocodile song will be playing on the CD player and the kids will make a crocodile clothespin. Paint clothes pins green. Use googly eyes and pre-cut squiggly strips (using craft sissors) of white teeth so the kids can glue them on. Use old realtor magnics and pizza magnets cut them up and attach to clothespins so kids can hang them on their refridgerators. Put on paper plates with each kids name to dry.
Hook appears again to say—
Hook—“Avast ye, mateys, ye made a fine croc. But there’s more danger in store that doesn’t tick-tock. Head for the sea, that’s a good tip You’ll find your next clue on a pirate ship.
The kids will then move to Pirate’s Cove: Here we will have 2 pirate ships set for battle each made out of big boxes. (tip use a 3rd box to make points on the front and back of the ships more realistic) Can get Pirate flag from internet or make one out of poster board from the dollar store) Only allow 2 kids on each ship at a time, Kids will have to throw black balloon cannon balls at each ship, can also use black small whiffle balls or stryofom balls. Each team as 1 minute to try to sink the other pirate ship. The team that got the most cannon balls in the other ship wins. Losing team gets told they have to swab the deck. Game continues until all children have had a chance. Use the Pirates of the Caribbean ship battle song on this one. At the end of the game Hook will appear again and say

Hook—Poor boys and girls, some of you got sunk. Your ship no longer sails and now it’s just junk. So swim out to the lagoon and you’ll get your three swishes—A chance to bring home one of those girl fishes.
Mermaid Lagoon—Out to the kiddie pool. Floating in the pool are dollar store mermaids of various colors. Kids line up and get three chances with a fishing net to catch a mermaid that they can keep. If they didn’t catch it in three chances they have to go to the end of the line and try again. CD song from Peter Pan Mermaid Lagoon should be playing. Hook then reappears.
Hook—“Blast you, yer getting closer, but you haven’t found me gold yet.. It’s time to go wild and see what you get. Follow the leader, and take steps to the right of thee—you’ll capture your next clue in the home of sweet Tiger Lily.
Indian Camp—CD plays music from Peter Pan Indian camp song. Tee Pee is set up, totem/tiki décor. Kids get to go into the tee pee and get their faces painted and get tattoos. Hook reappears and says.

Hook—“So you made it this far, but don’t brag or talk—No one has ever made it to the last stop Skull Rock. Up the ship’s deck and along the deck crickety-crank to get old Hook’s treasure you’ll have to walk the plank!
Skull Rock-inflatable pool filled with water and a rubber croc. 8ft plank on paint cans over pool. Kids have to walk this plank in order to get to the treasure. Get black balloon filled with water, sand or bird seed. Have the kids walk the plank with a cannon ball on their head. On Skull Rock put pirate skeleton holding treasure box filled with candy and treasures. Burlap bags tied each treasure so kids don’t fight over who gets what. Hook then appears and says:

Hook—Arrgh, ye found it, yer better priates than me own. You’ve taken my treasure and now leave me alone! If it’s real riches yer after, head over to Tink’s place. “Cuz better than silver ‘n gold is Nicole’s ice cream and birthday cake
