Last week was all about PIRATES! The kids have a pretend pirate ship in our backyard that they play in all the time, so I knew they would be excited about it.
Brielle and Lissy especially loved creating these pirates. Ethan just wanted to eat the chocolate chip eye patch, but who can blame him? :)
Homeschool Creations created a Pirate Lapbook with lots of fun activities. We practiced numbers and counting (and taking turns) as we played this pirate game.
Pirate Dress Up
We made eye patches (or 'Irishes as Gavin called them).
spy glasses and swords
And set up an treasure hunt following the book Pirate Treasure Hunt by Jan Peck. We had a forest, a cliff, a plank to walk, water to splash through...The kids LOVED it and did it again and again.
Books
Brielle's favorite was The Gingerbread Pirates by Kristin Kladstrup. It is Christmasy, but cute.
The Dangerous Alphabet was creepy and just weird.
The Night Pirates by Peter Harris I thought was a fun story
Ethan liked all of them. He is really big into boats, so every page was filled with him screaming "BOAT, BOAT!!" Makes it a bit hard to get through the stories, but still fun.

Okay, that picture of Ethan making the spyglass reminds me a ton of Steve as a kid.
