Effort: Easy - no sewing required Materials:
Pirate hat White shirt (T-shirt or flowing, ruffled button-down) Red sash for the waist Eye patch Gray ripped skirt, pants, capris, or shorts Clip-on gold hoop earring Plastic sword Black eye pencil or face paint Parrot Beanie Baby or other stuffed parrot to attach to shoulder Black leggings (optional) Bandana to wear on head (optional)
Instructions: Have your child put on the clothes and accessories. If you don’t have an eye patch, you can make one with face paint. You can also draw a beard, mustache, and scars. Have him practice saying “Arrgghh” and “Ahoy there, Matey.” Tips: An old, red, bolero-style jacket or old vest would look nice, too. So would a belt with a large shiny buckle to hold the sword. Boots that go up to the child’s knees would be a nice touch, as long as they aren’t so big that the child trips when walking in them. More Costume Ideas
