Ahoy, my crafty mates and pirate lovers!!! Are you ready for another “shiver me timbers” kid friendly pirate craft tutorial?!

It’s a super fun kid craft that is sure to inspire and be loved by kids of ALL ages! Not to mention – it’s super easy and really inexpensive, so parents will love it too!

So let’s batten down the hatches and check out this fun Popsicle Stick Pirate Shop tutorial – shall we?

PAIR OUR PIRATE SHIP CRAFT WITH —> Paper Plate Pirate – Summer Kid Craft Idea

Pirate Ship Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {body of the boat, as well as the flag pole}
* Regular Sized Popsicle Sticks {the flag and sides of the ship}
* Large Skull Paper Punch
* School Glue
* Red/Black/Brown Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* White Cardstock Paper

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your ship by gluing together a basic popsicle stick frame/fence {5 jumbo sticks laid next to each other and two regular size popsicle sticks, one on each side, to anchor everything together}
* Next glue down the jumbo popsicle stick to the center of the boat to create the flag pole.
* Finish it off by gluing six popsicle sticks in a line, to create a flag from the flag pole.
* Set it all aside to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your paint and add your personal touches. We did the boat in brown and did the flag in a black/red alternating pattern.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once dry, grab your white cardstock and punch/cut out a pirate skull design from it.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Pirate Ship craft, have children glue the cardstock piece in the center of the flag.
* Then display proudly!!
