We used:

  • Pencils
  • Markers
  • White crayons
  • Watercolors
  • Scissors
  • Sticky Tape
  • Toothpicks
  • A Box for a puppet stage

Let’s Play The Game:

Step 1: We started by drawing heaps pirates in pencil, on cardboard.

Step 2: Then we colored the pirates in with markers.

Step 3: We snipped out the pirates and stuck toothpicks onto the back of them using sticky tape. And our pirates puppets were ready.

Step 4: We needed an ocean – white crayons and watercolors did the trick. And we snipped a wave line.

Step 5: And a pirate ship is essential. Back to the drawing board, and a couple of markers. And “The Se7ered Hoods” was launched!
