Pocahontas Party

So, apart from Pocahontas and John Smith....what do you need for a Pocahontas Party?

Well first...you need an Indian village with feather bunting....

You need to fill it with braves....

and of course tee pees for shelter.  

Then you've got to build a camp fire and add your own Pocahontas.

If you've ever tried to get a Pocahontas dress that for the detail obsessed* perfectly matches Pocahontas'...don't search ebay, amazon or any internet party shop.  Just get your Mummy (in this case Heather) to make you one and then get Daddy (Stephen) to add your arm tattoo.

* no names Josie, no names.

Those crepe paper flames can be tough to keep lit...so bring bellows...or your cousin...

Add in a bouncy slide to test the bravery of your braves....

Add a coconut shy to perfect their hunting aim....

Let them create their own headbands....

Play "pass the parcel" to teach them the patience of the hunt....

Then feed them...as hungry braves can get restless...

Try to remember, while you're busy stitching a Pocahontas costume to make a tee pee cake too.  (It is always advisable at this point to enlist Shirley's assistance)

Then in a moment of native American cannibalism, allow Pocahontas to eat Pocahontas.

Just remember at bath time, that even Indian princesses get dirty feet...

Then you need to escape the Indian camp to celebrate your other, slightly older, but still beautiful niece's birthday....

Then return home and pack the caravan...no canvas for us!
