  1. ok first... the pajamas.

    this may sound weird, but i think it could really work out in the end.

    find a pair of brown or maroon/brick red gauchos. or any kind of loose fitting knee length shorts.

    you can make this a craft or do it yourself... but cut out long skinny triangles at the bottoms of each leg so they look ragged and worn down.

    then you can get any long sleeved white shirt and cut a V at the top... then put some little holes on each side and find brown yarn or a shoelace and tie it back up. put it on with an undershirt underneath it and roll up the sleeves.

    now you can make a belt out of house hold items [maybe even a real belt...] and find cheap hats, vests and swords at any costume shop or thrift store.

    let the kids run around in their little outfits and once its time for bed they can sleep either in the long sleeve shirt or the undershirt with the gauchos. everything will be made out of cotton so it wouldnt be uncomfortable at all. especially the pants... they are commmfy    :]

    and the whole outfit can also easily be done by children so that will take a good hour or so for arts and crafts.

    overall, the costume will be simple to make but resemble this: http://www.buypiratecostumes.com/yarn_ba...

    now the tent.

    heres an idea: if you use the costume as arts and crafts you can have someone else direct it while you make the tent. so when the kids first get there, all they see is a regular tent. but once they transform into pirates they'll go back outside and it will "magically" become a ship. surprise always hypes up children.

    first off you can put the tent on a bunch of blue streamers and have the entrance to the tent have a piece of wood or colored piece of paper sticking out of it [or from underneath it]. so you have an ocean and a "walking plank".

    for the outside you can just measure the sides and cut out big sheets of brown paper that you can just tape to the outside. you can decorate the paper ahead of time with wood markings and other cutouts of pirates and maidens and a tower... then tape or glue it on later.

    a good thing to do would be to find some REAL paddles and lean them up against the side of the "ship".

    at the back of the tent you can put a pole or a broom handle sticking up out of the ground and tie a sheet to it. voila! we have sails!

    maybe build a homemade cannon.

    anything else on the outside can be your choice.... those are just the basics.

    now the inside.

    you can get like 10 or 20 sheets of yellow or gold paper and just wad them up in balls and put them in a shoebox or old chest and that can be a little treasure decoration. there can be parrot beanie babies everywhere and some eye patches scattered on the floor. if you want to you can find red or brown bean bags for comfort and give them little bottles of root beer or coke and they can pretend they're pirates drinking rum. unless thats a bit too racy.

    you can have a telescope in there somewhere too and some skulls or whole skeletons.

    urmmm   thats about all i can think of... i hope this helps.

    good luck!!


  2. skulls bandanas parrots eye patches planks pirate music cross bones

  3. try getting appliques from a craft store and putting them on pajamas. you could also buy figurine parrots and pirates and a skull flag to hang outside your tent. you could make or buy pirate hats, and personalize them with your first initial. [that could be really cute.] if its possible, you could bring paint and paint the tent like a pirate ship. watch pirates of the caribbean for more ideas too. paint or write slogans on the tent, or on your pjs [respectively; i dont think id paint on my pjs, lol, but u could write on them with sharpies.] umm haha thats all i can think of right now but ill keep thinking and edit my answer if i think of anything else.

    hope i helpedd [[:
