National Talk Like a Pirate Day is on September 19, today, and what better way to celebrate than with Pirate Art Project for Kids?? One involves rainbow sherbert…and since it still feels like summer here in Atlanta I am down with a craft that involves a frozen goody! Arr me harteys, here are 2 fabulous pirate crafts that Momondealz shared with us.
Make a Pirate Hook:
Materials:
Tin foil
Butter container, solo cup, any object that can go over your child’s hand (we used old Easter egg dying cups)
Sharp knife
Directions:
1. The adult should cut a hole in the container for the hook to go in.
2. Roll up the tin foil into a long roll.
3. Insert the tin foil into the hole in the container and then shape the top of it into a hook.
Make an Edible Pirate Ship
Materials:
Ice cream bowls
Ice cream or sherbert
2 Toothpicks and 1 Straw
Marshmallows
Directions:
1. Fill the bowl with ice cream or sherbert.
2. Put one marshmallow on each toothpick.
3. Cut the straw so that it is longer than the toothpicks. Put 2 marshmellows on the straw.
4. Insert the toothpicks and straws into the ice cream or sherbert and you have pirate ship sails!
