Learn More About Pirate Crafts! Educational Activities And CraftsMcAveler, I thought we were going to learn about pirate crafts? How much longer? We've been gone a whole nano second already! Yes Mimi, we're almost there. Today we're checking out pirates on the bounding main, in the year 1700. Look, there go two mysterious pirate ships now! They look like brigantines, the largest pirates ship. Mimi, let's take a close-up look at the kinds of ships pirates used! McAveler, Probably for two reasons, Mimi. First, they may have injured an eye, maybe in battle. But usually it was so that they could see when they went below deck. They used one eye above deck in the bright sun and then when they went below deck, they moved the patch to the other eye so they could see in the dark hold of the ship. Pretty crafty, huh? 
September 19 is Talk Like A Pirate Day and Google even has a special search page just for pirates!
Listen to how funny they talk, McAveler. I can't understand some of their words! No wonder their parrot talks funny! But Mimi, want to learn some pirate talk along with a cool pirate kids craft? Sea biscuits, Mimi. What's a sea biscuit made of? Would you like to see how they are made? The cook has the recipe hanging on the wall of the galley right here. See? McAveler, I don't see any plunder. Where is all the plunder the pirates capture from other ships? You don't see it because they buried their treasure in chests so no one could take it from them. Want to learn how to make a pirate treasure chest craft, Mimi? Mimi, let's make a pirate hat and eye patch too to remind us of our adventure with the pirates! Won't it scare Chico if we show up wearing It might but he gets over things very quickly. Mimi, take a look at all the Ooooh, I've always wanted that Pirates of the Carribean Blu-ray! Well, your birthday is coming soon, says McAveler! Back to kids crafts home page.
