We've been having great fun with our pirate theme this week and here is a few more snippets of what we've been getting up to over the last couple of days...
Firstly, I made some sailing boats out of washing up sponges, lollipop sticks and green paper and we sailed them on the great washing up bowl sea! We also went searching for sunken treasure (charity shop bead necklaces broken up) at the bottom of the sea :)
While we were playing boats, I talked to Daniel about things that float (the sponges) and things that sink (the treasure) but I think it all went a bit over his head as he was having too much fun splashing in the water! He wasn't too sure about retrieving the treasure from the bottom of the sea, but once I semi lifted a couple of them out he was well away. We were having great fun, then all of a sudden a great white beast came to drink from the sea... :)
Next up we decided to make some parrot paintings. We used red, yellow and blue paint to make handprints to stick on the parrot to look like his feathers...
Daniel also had great fun painting a picture using the parrot coloured paints...
And finally, we realised that Daniel actually has a pirate ship in the house that we had forgotten about! It's one of his bath toys! So we've been playing pirates in the tub of an evening too.
I think that's all for now, but I've still got some pirate themed games and activities planned for the coming week, as well as watching Peter Pan. I think we are all going to be pirated out by the time we actually get to Penzance!!
