We luv us some PIRATES!

Sept 19th
Talk Like a Pirate Day






Arrrrr Mateys! Here is our Pirate day afterschool activity! It was easy and cute. T entertained himself and G added his own scribbles to my artwork for him. We used pillow cases so that it didn't just become some flat art piece that ended up in a corner. I wanted it to have some use (without having the energy to put together a treasure hunt in the backyard!). Instead of fabric markers (bc I didn't really think this out or have energy -once again) I used permanent markers. I noticed the permanent markers on T's prek grad shirt that I made him have held the stormy seas (washing machine) so that solved that. We took care of homework, early dinnner and got to drawing. T wanted to use his Neverland magnet from the Peter Pan show as a guide. After a bit I encouraged him to use his OWN imagination and he did. It was a nice change of pace from the usual afterschool madness. And now they can keep them forever. Happy Pirate Day.
