How to have a horse racing party....
Kids Kentucky Derby Party Hats
Hats for your Kentucky Derby party from fancy to fun!
And they're on! Kentucky Derby Hats are on your head for any real Kentucky Derby
party. It wouldn't be a party without a festive hat for the ladies and gents, but along
with the festive and elegant varieties, hats at a Kentucky Derby party are often on
the outlandish side. And kids love wearing hats.
So let your guests choose a party hat for the party by providing lots of varieties of
plastic and straw hats. Then let them decorate with colorful feathers and pipe
cleaners, artificial flowers, bits of felt, yarn, sequins, gems beads, glitter, plastic
horses and other small party favors -- even wiggle eyes and foam balls. Kids might
even decorate their derby hat with horse racing tickets, right. Let their imaginations
run as fast as the Derby horses. And be sure to set out plenty of glitter glue and
Tacky Quick Dry Glue.

Boys Kentucky Derby hats:
While you can provide the more expensive straw pith hats, boys will be satisfied
with inexpensive plastic hats that they can decorate. Above you'll find an array of
plastic party hats, including: derby hats, top hats, fedoras and, of course, Jockey
helmets.
- Fedora: The yellow plastic fedora, above right, is a fun way for the guys at the
party to feel the Kentucky Derby spirit. Add feathers to pimp the fedora.
- Top hat: Plastic top hats are an easy find during New Years. You can also
search party supplies online to find top hats or derby hats year round.
- Derby hats from St. Patrick's Day. There are a plethora of green derby hats
around St. Patrick's Day.
- Jockey Helmets: The jockey helmets above are an obvious choice for a
Kentucky Derby party or Triple Crown party. Buy extra plastic derby hats and
use them to serve snacks and appetizers!
Girls Kentucky Derby hats
For girls Kentucky Derby hats, look for tea party hats. These are difficult to find
except online and we've assembled some of the best below. Look also for tea party
hats on eBay (and if you do be sure to get cash back on your eBay purchase). Think

decorated in flowers abound. Below you'll find some real hats kids could use for the
