We also had a "pirate dressing & craft table". I used a black table cloth on this table. This table held pirate hats. It was really a craft kit, but I made one ahead of time to see how long it would take and it took me quiet a while to finish it so I decided to make all the hats ahead of time. I also had pirate eye patches, hooks (red or black plastic cups with a pirate sticker and a hole cut in the bottom of the cup, aluminum foil shaped into a hook coming through the hole. Once the kids little hands went in the cup to hold on to the extra aluminum foil it looked just like a pirate hook hand. I also had long balloons that are used to make balloon animals. As the kids arrived they got to pick their color balloon and my husband blew them up and made swords with them instead of animals. I also had parrots. I used toilet paper rolls, painted them green, added googly eyes, feathers, beak (made with orange pipe cleaners). I glued the eyes and beak on and then added feathers all around and a small feather sticking up from within the roll. I punched two holes at the bottom and tied elastic string. When put on the arm the parrot looks like it is standing on your arm.
