Give two imaginative boys a little Gilbert & Sullivan and they are inspired for some dramatic piracy.
The Pirate Kings
With Catlike Tread
Upon Our Way We Steal
With Silent Dread, Our Cautious Way We Feel
No Sound at All. We Never Speak A Word
A Fly's Footfall, Would Be Distinctly Heard
Come Friends Who Plow the Sea
Trust in Navigation
Take Another Station
Let’s Vary Piracy
With A Little Burglary
~The Pirates of Penzance

Our theme for July’s Families, Create! Make and Play Carnival was “swashbucklers.” Check out what our participants created this month:
With cat-like tread, upon their way they steal, Zoie at TouchstoneZ‘s sons are inspired to perform a little dramatic piracy as captured in pictures.
Brittany at Mama’s Felt Cafe shares a tutorial for making an easy hand sewn felt pirate crown. No fancy stitching required!
Argh, mateys! Dionna at Code Name: Mama has written ye a tutorial to make easy pirate eye patches.
Lauren at Hobo Mama presents parrot play (sprinkled with humor) for your petite pirates.
A trip to a local botanical garden turned into a dinosaur safari at Living Peacefully with Children.
Shiver me timbers! If you have a pirate lover, check out “How to Make a Pirate Treasure Hunt Plus Other Fun Pirate Crafts and Activities” from Dionna at Code Name: Mama.

What great pictures! How wonderful to have such an awesome festival someplace near by!
Thank you for your kind words, Brittany!
Oh Zoie, these are fantastic pictures!! Where did you go that you saw the pirate ship?
Thank you, Dionna. We went to the Northern California Pirate Festival for many of these photos and they acted out more piracy in the backyard on the plastic pirate ship (from Craigslist) at home
Zoie I love the first picture! So cute and hilarious! Kai makes a very cute and sneaky mouse! haha
We’re huge fans of the Kevin Kline version here.
You?
Absolutely! I actually got to see that production on Broadway. So I’m a fan. We watch the dvds of the movie & performance a lot
