Paper Plate Pirate Craft with Moving Eyepatch

I just love all things pirate, and this paper plate pirate craft with movable eyepatch went down well with my 4 and 6 year old!!

As soon as Summer comes we open up out selection of pirate crafts for kids!! I am always looking to add to my current list and my latest creation is my favorite! I still have to make one from popsicle sticks but I will save that for another day!

My 6 year old and I decided to take a paper plate and turn it into a cool pirate, but not any old pirate! We made one that has an eyepatch that moves!

I have lots more ideas for easy pirate crafts for kids if you would like to make ships, a small pirate and even a hat!
