Ahoy there !! Can you build your own boat? Maybe you have a big empty box or even a wash basket. Using a stick or brush shaft an adult can help attach an old tea towel or pillow slip to make a flag. Even a paper flag will do. Do you recognise the flag on this boat? If possible you can paint the flag in your favourite colours or maybe make it into a pirate flag. Can you make some oars to row your boat...maybe adding cardboard to some sticks or smaller brushes. Don't forget your telescope(an empty kitchen roll inner tube). Where will you go? What will you see? Hope you enjoy your adventure.
Next step: Go on a treasure hunt. Adults could wrap some 'treasure' in tin foil..maybe some shiny buttons or old costume jewellery and hide them in the garden or around the house. Talk about the treasure..how it feels, the colour and texture.With an adult you could make a treasure map showing where the treasures can be found.. X marks the spot !! Adults and children could take turns hiding and searching for the treasure.
