Following on from Kids Pirate Party ideas Theme Part 1, I would love to share a few pirate inspired craft activities that would keep any swashbuckler entertained. Without further ado, here they are...
In the days before the party, paint a range of boxes brown and collect a variety of craft items that can be stuck onto these boxes to transform them into treasure chests. Sequins, plastic gem stones, stickers, tinfoil cut into shapes, buttons and anything else that is shiny make perfect treasure chest decorations. At the party, supply the children with PVA glue to decorate the painted boxes as their pirate heart desires. This activity is best done at the beginning of the party so that the glue can dry and the children can take their chests home at the end. For a bit of fun, place each child’s 'Loot Bag' (lolly and/or gift bag) in their treasure chest ready to take home.
Craft Activity for kids 2: Make a Pirate Telescope
Obtain some A4 pieces of cardboard for each guest. Encourage each guest to roll up the cardboard into a cylinder and fasten with sticky tape or staples. Cut some coloured cellophane into pieces that will fit over the end of each cylinder. Help your guests place this over the end and fasten with a rubber band and a piece of sticky tape so the band doesn’t flick off. Then let your pirates loose at stickers, plastic gems stones, sequins, etc to stick on with PVA glue. Provide markers to draw on the telescope. Viola a telescope with a fun coloured lens.
Craft Activity for kids 3: Make a Pirate Hat
Purchase some large sheets of black paper, one for each guest. Depending on the age of each guest you can either prefold some pirate hats or help them fold their own. (Use your favorite search engine for hat folding instructions). Then you can decide how your guests can decorate the hat. Here are some ideas:
- For collage: Feathers, pirate stickers, pirate pictures (purchase some pirate wrapping paper and cut out the pirate pictures)
- Skull and Cross Bones: Download and print some skull and cross bone images for the guets to cut out and stick on. Or if the guests are young, pre-cut them and they can stick them on with glue
- If you are game enough and have only a few guests, make a stencil of a skull and cross bones out of card board and guests can paint over the stencil with white paint.
