Pirate Crafts Will Make Any Kid Feel Like A Real Life Pirate

There are many crafts that kids of all ages can do but a favorite craft with kids is the pirate craft. This way they can make their craft and then have fun acting like a pirate at sea. Girls and boys of all ages enjoy playing this game. They can act like they are looking far out to sea with this easy to make spyglass telescope.

Here are the materials that you will need to make this fun pirate craft.

Paper tube (paper towel or gift wrap)

Construction paper of all different colors

Glue or Glue Stick

Scotch tape

Plastic wrap

Stickers for decorating or crayons (This is optional)

You will need a small square of plastic wrap to cover one end of the paper towel or gift wrap tube. Put the plastic wrap around one end and secure it in place with tape. Now you have the glass lens for your pirate spyglass. It doesn't need to be neat just secured in place because you will be covering the edges of the plastic wrap with construction paper.

Next you want to choose the color of construction paper that you want to use on your pirate spyglass. Then you will need to wrap the construction paper around the tube and secure it with tape or glue. Now you want to add a narrow strip of yellow around the end that has the plastic wrap and secure it with tape or glue.

Now your pirate spyglass is done and ready to decorate. You can do this with stickers if you want to or you can color it. The funny part is the decoration of each of their binoculars to make it their own. All children enjoy this part of the job, and will be proud of what they did.
