Or….Have your own Pirate adventure!
Don’t fancy joining in a pirate themed activity, then create your own! Here are a few ideas to try with the little ones when they get the urge for a swashbuckling adventure!
Getting in Character – Dressing up is a given! Pirate hats, eye patches and a trusty cutlass!
Treasure Hunt – Why not create a treasure hunt with real treasure buried at the end of it (gold chocolate coins make a surprisingly agreeable and cheap substitute to real doubloons).
Build your own Ship – With a few cardboard boxes, a little paint and a buckets of imagination, help them build their very own ship to sail the high seas!
