Disney's Peter Pan is an elusive character to find on party gear.  If you ever spot some let me know.

We had a small family gathering for my Peter Pan loving youngest son.  It was his fourth birthday and Peter Pan is his hero.

So here's what I did for him, his siblings and his cousin.


PARTY HATS:

1.  I made Peter Pan hats out of green poster board.

How to:

1 Cut large circles out.

2  Cut from one side to the center and stop.

3.  Make a cone and secure with a staple or tape.

4.  Then crease one side to create a point.

Game:

I drew a silhouette of Peter Pan's shadow.

I gave each child a feather to pin to the shadow.

Then the winners were able to snag candy and gold debloons from the treasure chest.

1.  24 pack of gold coins $1

2.  24 pack of candy $1
