Pirate party for kids: yo-ho-ho and a bottle of cola! Holiday for children: pirate quest "Treasure Hunt" - preparation and process.

Are you planning a noisy pirate party? Amazing! Of course, there will be a lot of trouble, but it's worth it. So, games and competitions are prepared, scary outfits are sewn, delicious treats spread amazing aroma around the apartment... It's easy: how to draw a pirate treasure map for kids.

Namely, to find together with little curious pirates in a bottle of rum (a bottle of children's champagne is perfect) the main attribute of the upcoming sea adventure - an old, time-worn treasure map and start sailing.

Making such a card is not at all difficult.


What does it take to make from scratch

  • A sheet of paper (I used ordinary A4 office paper).
  • Strong welding (for a primer).
  • Cotton swab.
  • Black gel pen.
  • Colour pencils.
  • Scissors.
  • Ribbon or piece of twine.

How to Draw a Pirate Treasure Map for Kids

How to achieve the effect of faded in the sun and aged paper? It's very simple: we strongly brew tea or (if you want to make the leaf darker) instant coffee.


Wet a cotton swab well in the liquid.


And we process a sheet of paper on both sides.


We leave the paper to dry for a while, to speed up the process, you can put a sheet on a heating radiator. It turns out beautifully primed, slightly warped during drying (which is also great) textured base for the future card.


Now we begin to place the necessary objects on the map. You can choose a suitable motif and draw from it, or you can sketch a small sketch in advance. We draw directly on the map with a gel pen. You can also add text block letters with assignments.


It turns out beautifully when the graphic lines are lightly “highlighted” with color. In my case, these are ordinary colored pencils. You can color in several ways - gently shade or rub a rubbed lead over the surface of the paper.


When drawing objects on a pirate map, show all your imagination - interesting frightening names will delight little travelers (it's good when they also coincide with the names of competitions and tests that arise "on the way"). And, of course, do not forget to mark the place where the "ancient treasure" is hidden.

Using scissors, we make out the edges of the card, as shown in the photo.

And gently “smoke” the sheet over the candles and burn the edges. Here - the main thing is not to gape and not let the fire spoil all the work done.


The map is ready! We turn it into a tube, rewind it with twine or satin ribbon and hide it in a suitable bottle.


How to draw a pirate treasure map for kids for the holidays.

Rrr! Beasts-pirates in search of treasure!

Pyrrrat Karrrts is a simple game in which you need to get your Pyrrrats on the table as quickly as possible. At first, it’s simple - which pirate is already on the table, this one can be laid out. And then it gets more difficult - because each card has its own special properties!

Captain, we need to collect a treasure map!

But it was blown to pieces in the farthest corners Caribbean. A task that pirates who are not afraid of adventure and the most terrible storms will cope with. Which of you has the most daring team? Forward, other captains are on the alert! This is the sea, which means that the rules can change right in the process of swimming - be careful and cunning.

What to do?

In this bright game, smelling of gunpowder and sea salt, you can stay in free swimming, or you can go in search of parts of the map and the main treasure - a golden pineapple.

How to play?

To swim, you lay out the cards on the table so that next to the deck of pirate cards you have an open discard pile. Deal out 8 cards to the players. Everyone plays clockwise: if you have a card in your hand with the same pirate as on the top card of the discard pile, you can put it on top. If there is no such card, you will have to take a card from the closed deck into your hand and pass the turn to the next one. Your goal is to be the first to discard all cards from your hand.

What about a map?

Treasure seekers receive one of the four parts of the card, and the whole round they try to get the next one - it is also given for a freed hand. Whoever collects all 4 map pieces first wins.

Adventure is always more important

You have an entire booklet of rules, but there are also adventure cards that can change the basic rules. Listen to the cards! There are always surprises in the sea. For example, a card is laid out with the condition that if you walk as a monkey, you must give another card to another player - do not forget, you must always follow the implementation of all adventure cards.

Who adds adventure to you?

Imagine the pirate who won the round! He draws, cunning, three cards from the adventure deck, hides one back under the deck, puts one on the table, and takes the third for himself as part of the treasure map. Nothing, but in the next round, it's not him who goes first, but the neighbor on the left.

Endless sea spaces, endless adventures and bottomless treasures! It's no surprise that a pirate party for kids is one of their favorite birthday or school date themes. Parents are also lucky: the design of the room will not take much effort and will not hit the budget, because many accessories and decorations are easy to do with your own hands.

Decor

Since it children's holiday, the entourage should be flashy-bright, cartoony and full of details. Don't be afraid to overload the room with decorations - the more, the merrier!

But don’t break your head over the forms and complex compositions - the kids don’t care how highly artistic the colorful garland is. Even better, if the decorations are rustic, as if assembled by children. Spend the free time on working out the script and preparing treats - these moments are much more interesting for the guys.

Original ideas for a pirate party for children can be drawn from dozens of themed cartoons: Treasure Planet, Treasure Island, Pirate Island Mysteries, etc.

Posters/ cartoon frames are great for wall decoration- print, cut. Figures of recognizable heroes and attributes can be assembled into garlands, cards for skewers, signs for a candy bar can be made.

To decorate a room or open space, if the party is outdoors, prepare:

  • paper garlands of boats, skulls, anchors, flags Jolly Roger on the ceiling, walls;
  • globes, "old" cards, cardboard pirates, guns, mountains of gems, gold;
  • spyglasses, sextants, marine compasses. The real ones will certainly delight the children! But you can make fake or print photos, just to create an entourage;

Bright themed attributes for a children's pirate party can be bought. There is literally everything, from jewelry to accessories, clothes, weapons, balls, dishes.

  • pirate Balloons with thematic drawings, stickers. It is easy to assemble palm trees, anchors, ships, skeletons from long windmills;
  • cracked barrels, huge anchors, steering wheels fake, foam or cardboard;
  • for draping walls/furniture and Use stylized sails, ropes and fishing nets. Hang rope ladders/ropes with knots for gripping against one of the walls or on a branchy tree if the holiday is outdoors. Don't forget to lay mats;

  • it is dark in the hold or treasury without fire.… Arrange candles around the room - safe, battery-powered!
  • shells, algae, fish, krakens and all sorts of octopuses. Sea monsters are not very creepy, because this is a children's pirate party. Although today's children just do not scare. But still, with horror films in moderation;
  • do not forget the most important - treasures in chests. Bent spoons and other aluminum as silverware, grandmother's jewelry, dagger knives, chocolate coins, candy beads. Chests are easy to assemble from a box cut out according to a template, paint or paste over with wallpaper under a tree, hang a fake castle.

Friends will certainly not refuse to help arrange a pirate party for children - ask them for decoration toys:

  • plastic boats, figurines of pirates, swords, sabers, thematic "Lego";
  • talking parrots. Glue a cardboard cocked hat and an eye patch - you get a real pirate companion! Repeating parrots, shouting after the children “Break me thunder” and “Whistle everyone upstairs”, will surely amuse the children;
  • floating fish, octopuses, battery turtles and other marine life. Settle them in beautiful jars with shells, sand, treasures at the bottom.

photozone

Thematic background with a pattern or tantamaresque. It is not difficult to make it with your own hands, taking a cheerful picture as a model. Draw, cut out "windows" for faces. A simple example that even an older child can repeat.

You can make a real pirate ship! Let it be made of cardboard, but with masts and sails! Do not be too lazy to paint the boat beautifully - an hour of time, and the difference is noticeable.

invitations

Ordinary invitations for such a colorful theme are unthinkable, and the guys will surely like the original “postcards”. DIY Pirate Party Invitations for Kids:

  • paper boat with text on sails;

  • burnt edge card, "old". Sketch out the path to your "island" or "cave" (where will you celebrate your pirate birthday?);
  • encrypted message - riddles, puzzles, puzzles(simple, children's). The answer will be “I invite you to a party” or “come date-time”;

  • a chest with a letter from Flint himself and chocolate treasures in golden foil. Or a black label with text inside/on the back;
  • mysterious message in a bottle, wandering along the waves for a long time (decorate with shells, starfish).

Suits

Dear parents, no bigotry. After all, this is a pirate-style children's party, and kids do not like constricting clothes that are hot and uncomfortable to run and play. For example, heavy high boots or a leather hat are a nightmare for a mobile child. But absolutely newspaper accessories, assembled in five minutes, will not look too festive in the photo.

Do not try to dress a little pirate with a needle. Some mess and even a tattered costume is welcome! A girl can arrange a creative mess on her head, braid several braids with multi-colored hairpins-elastic bands. The boy tousle his hair, draw a bruise, mustache, beard.

We offer simple options on how to dress for a pirate party without spending much. Top: long T-shirt or T-shirt with stripes - blue, red, black. If the shirt is white or grey/beige. Gather fluffy cuffs and a collar on an elastic band. Bottom: dark wide trousers, loose shorts or a skirt. For a boy, you can sew a short vest or a long camisole wide open. For a girl - a dress with a corset, frills and flounces, under retro. Look at the photos of pirate costumes for rent for ideas.

The tops of boots are better to make sham, thick fabric. It is desirable that they be removed - on an elastic band, Velcro, buttons from the inside. If it is hot indoors or outdoors, after a few photos for memory, the tops can be unfastened:

Of course, the costume would be incomplete without important pirate accessories and recognizable elements:

  • a wide belt (a long thin scarf will do), a belt with a gold buckle;
  • fake rivets, chains, lacing;

  • eye patch, hook in the sleeve, skeleton skulls (key rings, drawings, stickers on clothes, transfer tattoos);
  • spyglass, saber, pistol. Surely something from the "weapon" is in the home collection. If not, make from cardboard and paint with silver/gold paint;
  • bandana and/or hat. They cost a penny in party stores, but a paper hat is easy to make with your own hands (on an elastic band or two parts glued around the edges):

A real pirate cocked hat can be assembled from an old baseball cap and a wide “steering wheel” of fields.. Cut off the visor, sew on the “steering wheel”, fold and sew the fields at three points, as in the photo below. The crown will be almost invisible, but you can paint it or cover it with a fabric in the color of the hat brim. Decorate with a frill around the edges, stick a dashing feather or draw a skull. Get a hat like this:

Menu, serving

It hardly makes sense to arrange a serious feast at a children's holiday - the guys are waiting for active competitions and goodies, and not potatoes with chicken. But for parents, you can include several salads, meat and vegetable cuts in the menu. It is better to arrange all dishes in small portions, in baskets, vases.

Pirate treats will become more attractive if you beat the serve beautifully. Lay a striped or black tablecloth, decorate the "board" - anchors, helms, lifebuoys. You can throw an imitation of a fishing net on the tablecloth. Buy stylized dishes and napkins, colorful skirts and cupcake tins, make miniature cards for skewers.

Bring a country table with an umbrella. The stick on which the umbrella is attached is an almost ready-made mast for developing sails galleon! Or hang a sail/flag on the wall behind the table. If you are celebrating a children's birthday in a pirate style, there is no better “canvas” for congratulations. Make an inscription on the sail like this:

Captain Max
9 years on the high seas
Fly forward with all sails, adventures are waiting for you!

If you're planning on spending the day outdoors, prepare something substantial. For example, you can make a couple of salads and arrange them on plates, like a ship's cook - a ladle from a huge pan. Sausage octopus jellyfish are also quite in the subject:

But the most important thing is the pirate Candy-bar or sweet menu. This is where decorations come in handy - skewers, cards and other small things with pirate symbols. Any recipes, at your discretion - pies and cakes, shortbread cookies, biscuits, puffs. But it’s easier to buy most of it, and then decorate it.

We offer several ideas in a pirate style.

  • Boats - stick a skewer with a sail into a treat. The galleon hull can serve as:
    • hot dogs, cabbage rolls (they have nothing to do with the sweet menu, but do not forget about parents, and not all children have a sweet tooth);
    • pie cut into long diamonds;
    • eclairs, tubules with cream;
    • pancakes with filling (envelopes or in a tube).
  • Striped jelly. Buy bags, two colors - lemon and berry (red) or plum (blue) jelly. Cool in layers in clear glasses/vases.

  • Montpensier, pour nuts in multi-colored glaze into transparent jars. The neck can be wrapped with twine or colorful ribbon, attached as a toy skeleton pendant, anchor, etc.
  • Candies in colorful wrappers, lollipops, chocolate coins, arrange in chests. Some of the sweets can be packed in "pirate" papers. Unfold small chocolates, leaving the foil, and “girdle” with a strip with cocked skulls (so that the foil is visible).

  • Bake cookies in the shape of pirate paraphernalia. Or decorate the rounds with mastic - an indispensable thing for decorating sweets! Food coloring or syrup will give the mastic the desired shade. Sculpting like from plasticine is not difficult at all.
  • Arrange beautifully fruits, "ours" and always from a tropical pirate island - mangoes, pineapples, etc. Decorate fruits with skewers with pictures. And from bananas you can make evil and funny corsairs: glue or draw faces, tie a triangular piece of fabric in the middle, striped or peas.

  • Drinks - juices, soft drinks, milkshakes. In stylized paper cups. With tubes decorated with pictures and figurines. In some glasses, you can put quarters of oranges and stick sails (the quarter is placed back to back so that it rests on the edges and does not sink). Replace bottle labels with colorful stickers.

If you are celebrating a birthday don't forget the pirate cake in the shape of a ship, a treasure chest, an island and so on. Any recipe you like, it is better to have a suitable form right away. Decorations - glaze, mastic. You may need the help of a pro to bake a grand cake.

Entertainment

Perhaps, The script for a pirate party for kids is more important than colorful decor and tasty treats. Take the time to prepare bright props. Appoint the most artistic parents to lead. Pirate music will create a fun atmosphere - download soundtracks from thematic films / cartoons.

Street

If the children's holiday takes place in nature, draw a map. Schematically, on "old" paper with peeled edges. On it, the guys will go through the quest, going in search of a treasure. It is not necessary to travel far, but it is better to carry out each test away from the previous one in order to get a real trip around the map. In our scenario, we need to designate this path:

  • pier (a place where a table and a seating area)
  • quicksand
  • swamp
  • enemy camp
  • entrance to the treasure
  • the place where the chest is hidden. You can bury it in the sand, hide it in a dense bush, in a dark barn or on a tree (adults will help you get it). Beat somehow effectively, because this is the culmination of the party.

room

If a pirate birthday is held at home / in a cafe, there will be nowhere to move. The labels for the scenario map are described above, but there can be any number of games between the journey from one point to another, at your discretion. Draw a map and tear it into as many pieces as you have prepared for contests and tasks. For completing each task, give the young pirates another piece of the map.

Since the children do not have a map at first, the leader instead of "What's next on the map, let's see ..." says something like this: “Oh, we got into the sands”, “The path is blocked by a swamp”, etc. And the chest can be slowly taken out and placed behind the guys while the young pirates glue all the pieces together.

Scenario

The name of the presenter for the example is Pretty Katie or Captain Hook (hereinafter referred to as KK).

QC: I see the whole brave team is assembled? Glad, very glad! I greet you, um, ahem ... And what is your name, in fact? Masha? Vasya? This will not work! The pirate must have a nickname so that they cannot figure him out by his real name.

The guys choose pirate names for themselves. Prepare cards - red and blue, with names for girls and boys. Whoever wants to, can come up with a nickname for himself. You can make badges, hang up and call the guys pirate nicknames for the whole party. Frisky Joe, Ragged Ear, Miss Mary, One-Eyed Bill and stuff like that.

QC: Phew, figured it out! Have you thought of a team name yet? Have you chosen a captain? How not? Let's-let's! Those in whom you will inspire fear and horror must somehow call you!

Come up with a name, choose a captain. You can give this honor to the birthday man. And if you don't have a birthday, then, like true pirates, decide the issue by drawing lots. For example, take chocolate coins out of the bag. Whoever gets the special one (in foil of a different color) will be the captain.

QC: What noses hung? Don't be discouraged - the captain's share is not at all as sweet as a birthday cake. And who is a captain without his team? Every pirate on a ship and in battle is important! Let's fill the holds (we'll eat and drink), but for now I'll go for gifts. I like you, a thousand devils! How can such brave pirates not be pampered?

QC: Got drunk? Well done! But, sea ​​urchin in my liver, someone stole the gifts!

It turns out "someone" - the villain, the assistant presenter.

QC: Oh you torn jellyfish! Well, give me my chest!

Assistant: Here's another! They just came, they didn’t really show themselves, and you immediately hand over treasures to them? Well, I do not! I hid them on the other side of the island and drew a map. Let them go in search of treasure. And we'll take a look at their pirate skills. Maybe they are not pirates at all, but…

QC: Guys, let's show this toad burp what we are worth? Shall we get our treasures?
- Yes Yes!

QC: Then go ahead! Through the quicksands deep into the island!

  • A large yellow sheet with holes of different diameters and at different distances. Holds two or four adults. You can cut the sheet lengthwise and sew it so that you get a long strip. The guys must quickly go through the "quicksand", stepping only in the holes.

QC: Well done, everyone did a great job! But, according to the map, there is an enemy camp ahead. Let's practice swinging sabers. And then they will stop us halfway ...

  • Foam, inflatable or cardboard sabers. Thin long board on the floor. The two have a duel. The goal is to stand on the board (you can on the bench if the children school age). Step on the floor - give way to the next. And so on until everyone who wants to play enough.

  • Give the children two small pieces of Jolly Roger boards or cartons of the enemy galleon. Organize a swamp: scatter pieces of green cloth or paper on the floor. Children must cross the swamp, standing on only one of the "wreckage". You stand on one, put the second in front of you, climb onto it, and shift the freed “fragment” in front of you. And so to the finish line.

While the children are moving through the swamp, the villain-assistant is quietly taken aside (so that the children do not see). And they cling to him about 30 pieces of clothespins-fish, on clothes.

QC: You did great - the swamp devil did not drag anyone to the bottom! Well done! And where is our pest, drowned or what?

An assistant in clothespins comes out, hanging his head.

QC: Aha ha ha, anchor down my throat, that's what you want! How will you go further?

Assistant offended: But no way! And I'll hide the chest so that Flint himself won't find it! Let's unhook these toothy reptiles. But wait… It's a great chance to check on our pirates… Let's see how attentive you are. KK, blindfold them, let them cope by touch. And don't you dare tickle me!

  • Blindfolded children unhook clothespins. You can compete - who can unhook the most piranhas.

Assistant: Well, thank you! For this, I will reveal a secret to you - there is an ambush ahead. I know for sure, because these fragments are familiar to me, on which you climbed through the swamp ... Looks like my enemies crashed on the rocky coast of our island ... Oh, it will be hard for you! Get ready!

QC: Damn medusa, here they are!

  • While the children were blindfolded, the presenter prepares the props for the accuracy contest. Depending on the age of the children, you can throw darts at the target-faces, knock down enemy paper figures with soft balls, extinguish candles (with face-bands) from water pistols.

QC: Phew, it looks like everyone was sent to feed the fish ... Let's eat before we stomp further.

QC: Karamba, we're almost there!

Assistant: Don't rush, or you'll make it. First you need to get the key. So that I can scrub the deck all my life if I give it away for that!

  • The key can be hidden in a large piñata (ship, skull, kraken). Or pour in a few balloons serpentine and sweets, and put a key in one.

QC: All right, there is a key. Go for the treasure!

Assistant: Look, they fled like crabs at the sight of my boot! You, of course, are dexterous and courageous, and everyone around you is tanned ... And what about your little mind? Didn't cheat Calypso? If you do not blunder here, so be it - I will give up the chest.

  • Quiz on the marine / pirate theme, riddles, charades, puzzles. You can prepare several questions or a test with humorous answers. At your discretion and according to the age of the guys, so that most of the young guests of the party will not be bored.

QC: Well, how, sinister, did the team cope?

Assistant: I admit - the real pirates have gathered! And bold, and smart - as a selection! I like such treasure hunts - a feast for the eyes! Explore your treasures. Yes, look, do not fight, otherwise you will spoil the whole impression. You are a friendly team, with you at least for a monkfish, at least for boarding!

Completion of the quest: Grand opening a chest with the most valuable treasures - sets of gifts packed in themed bags or boxes. Toys, movie tickets, coloring books, jigsaw puzzles – by budget and by age. It is better to collect identical sets so that no one leaves offended. And attach something to remember - medals or certificates of real pirates.

QC: Dismantled treasures? Now welcome to the table! Our cook has prepared a wonderful surprise for you!

They bring in a surprise - a pirate cake. We eat, we have fun in free mode. Happy holiday to you!


By the New Year, I want to give attention to loved ones, make a pleasant, useful (and beautiful!) Surprise that will delight friends or relatives very much. for a long time. As is known, best gift- made by hand. Yes, this time I can admit that my task of finding the right gift was greatly facilitated, since my godchildren have been addicted to pirate themes for over a year now. The answer to the question "What to give for New Year? was found.

It's no secret that I run my own travel blog. In my work on preparing materials, I work a lot with maps and diagrams, I am guided by scales and can easily explain to others, or. Therefore, the idea of ​​​​creating a full-fledged treasure map, a "pirate map" really appealed to me. At the same time, it was decided to capture the process of work for people who are interested in hand-made.

A sheet of A3 and A4 was taken as a basis in the amount of several pieces (I took 4 of each type). In building pirate map Treasures always need to dance from the texture of the paper, since it is it that determines the card as pirated or not pirated. Tea and coffee were taken to give color and texture.

I took a small bowl, 4 tablespoons of any instant coffee and 5 tea bags of black tea, filling it all with 250 ml of water (large glass). Mix thoroughly and wait until everything is infused. Then he took out the bags and put them on a separate plate (we still need them). I poured the contents of the bowl into a baking sheet to hold the paper there. The paper was crumpled as much as possible before impregnation.

It is not necessary to wait a long time, it is enough to impregnate the sheet with a solution on one side and the other, the color saturation does not depend on the amount of impregnation time - it was found out empirically. Then everything was laid out on spread newspapers to dry. As soon as the sheets began to dry out, he took the bags left during the previous operation and squeezed drops of a thick solution from them onto the sheets in a chaotic manner. This is necessary for the appearance of additional random "spots" in order to make the texture even more interesting.

Ready material for work.

I sharpened it in Photoshop so that the pattern could be seen.

In general, creating a pirate map brings great pleasure, because even if you accidentally drip glue or varnish on the surface of the paper, this will not worsen it. appearance, and improve - who knows how many troubles the old pirate had to go through with her?

I ironed the final sheets with an iron, then cleaned them with sandpaper to remove the shine from the iron and a rougher surface. I took a small grain size so as not to damage the paper.

After that, the question arose of what kind of drawing and how to apply. The choice fell on gel pens Three colors: black, gold and silver. With black we draw a contour, with gold and silver we give a beautiful shade that plays in the light.

The first tests showed: we are moving in right direction. Cardinal points on the map. How to draw: draw with a compass 2 concentric circles of different diameters, then make crosses: cross to cross at an angle of 90 degrees, then cross cross at 45 degrees, then again in half. We use the resulting markup to get this. We paint over the "star" in volume with gold and silver.

In general, the Internet is just full of various images treasure maps and pirate drawings various kinds: it all depends on the purpose for which you make the map and how much time and effort you are willing to spend on it.

My goal was to make props for a fun puzzle game for my nephew and niece for New Years. The essence of the game is as follows: We take a map where four sectors are marked. Each should have its own piece of the map. To find the treasure, you need to find all 4 pieces by solving riddles and puzzles. This becomes clear from the following figure:

Next, we take a plan of the area where the game will take place. I drew from memory, guided by photographs. We draw in such a way that it is clear to the child (in which case, mom and dad will help. Place the pieces on the map itself:

It turns out a kind of puzzle: children will not only need to find a piece of the map, but also find the place allotted to it. To do this, I made a stroke. More photos:


I bet even adults with topographical cretinism will be fascinated by this ordeal. Very exciting.

The game can be used everywhere: on vacation, at corporate parties. A treasure map is an intuitive thing and everyone knows what to do with it. You can buy a compass at any fishing store. Mine will be guided by the weather vane on the roof.

After creating the base and the puzzle, I wanted more. How will the card be stored? How to wrap and roll it? Quadruple fold? This will kill her. I remembered the idea of ​​a scroll: you need a cylindrical object longer than an A4 sheet, and something that will fix it. After sorting through the options, a broken photo shaft from the A3 printer and a roller from the same place were chosen. A map will be wrapped around the photo shaft, the roller gives a pleasant weight.


In the movies, it is customary for the scroll to have a protective apron that restricts the folding of the card and allows it to be rolled and unrolled. After creative torment, the initial material was chosen: polystyrene foam. After processing with a hot knife over the stove, it acquired the following shape:

My charm! Now you need to make the second one the same.

So that the limiter disks do not rotate, it was decided to process them with papier mache, which was soon done. Photos of this process did not work. After drying, the end surface of the tube and disks were treated with black plasticine. Along the way, plasticine was prepared for the "wax seal".

Then everything was glued onto a tube and varnished so that the plasticine did not get dirty.

Please note: the distance between the discs is selected in such a way that the roller is inserted there. Grooves were made at the processing stage. After drying, close-up:

The design is such that the card rotates freely around the roller. It is possible (but not recommended) to open the card under the weight of the roller itself: it will unwind.

We glue the joints of the sheets with PVA glue.

We check the functionality.

How it looks expanded:

The compactness of the map drawing itself and the abundance of "white spots" are a little annoying. I agree, you can fill the entire surface with patterns and drawings. But for my task this is enough.

We make a wax seal: knead the plasticine of the desired color (80% red and 20% black), take the twine, wrap it in the right way, sculpt the wax itself on a small piece of the same material as the card so that it does not deteriorate when torn off main object. We make an impression using another piece of plasticine, where the drawing was made, and then frozen in the freezer. We cover with varnish for sealing wax gloss. Ready!

My seal is made in the form of an "all-seeing eye". Who said conspiracy theories? Just a simple and beautiful drawing. Once again close-up. Not ideal, but for what will be torn off and thrown away, just right.

Card with other attributes for the competition for the New Year.

Ready! This text is not a strict instruction, it gives a lot of room for creativity and searching for different ways, so - create, let your map become even more detailed and beautiful! Well, I have everything! Happy New Year 2015!


What boy in childhood does not dream of becoming a pirate or going to cruise in search of Captain Flint's treasure? You can give your child such an opportunity by organizing a real pirate party for him and his friends! There are two scenarios for holding such a party: on the street (for example, in a country house or playground) or at home. The first option, of course, is more suitable for those children who were born in the summer. If there is no possibility to have a party on the street, then you can get by with the celebration in the apartment with contests that do not require a lot of space, but, nevertheless, your child will definitely like it!

The first thing you need to start preparing for the holiday, of course, with costumes and paraphernalia! What should a real pirate and his crew have? Matching costumes, swords, pistols, cocked hats, bandanas, blindfolds. Vests are suitable as costumes, ripped t-shirts and pants, vests, wide belts. Have a few bandanas and headbands in reserve in case one of the guests arrives without costumes. Improvised costumes for guests who haven't had time to dress up can also be quickly built from black disposable tablecloths or black oilcloth, which is sold in rolls. Cut out an elongated rectangle from it, make a slit for the head in the center. Cut the bottom of the robe unevenly with scissors to resemble a fringe. When the first pirates come to visit, dress them in such black suits, stick a skull with crossbones to the attire and tie the outfit with a wide ribbon. Don't forget your bandana and eye patch!

Materials:

Corrugated cardboard (from boxes),

Kraft paper (wrapping),

Oil pastel.

From the cardboard we cut out the development of the chest.

Crumple the craft paper into a ball and smooth it out with your hands. Toning with pastels

it turns out interesting drawing like old thick leather.

To close the chest, glue a piece of Velcro (= tape

Velcro, contact tape). You can draw a keyhole outside.

With the side of the oil pastel crayon we tint the walls. We use 2-3 suitable colors.

Crumple the craft paper into a ball and smooth it out with your hands. We tint with pastel, we get an interesting pattern, similar to old thick leather.

We glue the chest. Glue the corners with strips of "skin" from craft paper.

To close the chest, glue a piece of Velcro (= Velcro tape, contact tape). You can draw a keyhole outside.

LABEL

We must not forget about the design holiday table. The pirate birthday menu can also be styled with a pirate theme. Use a variety of dishes, the main thing is that in shape they resemble something pirate, even simple juice, homemade fruit drink or children's champagne can always be called pirate rum. Try to pour the drink into a bottle and stick a real pirate label on it - not only will they definitely try the drink, but they will also drink it with pleasure, because this is the drink of a real pirate.

Materials:

Unnecessary map (study atlases often remain at the end of the school year),

Aging solution (tea, coffee, rosehip infusion),

Ink and pen, or black pen.

We take a piece of the map, moisten it with water. When wet, with the help of a comb, make a rectangle with a torn edge.

Let's age the paper with tea (or coffee, or rosehip tincture - these solutions will give different shades of brown). It is necessary to grow old after you have made a torn edge so that the edge of the paper is also painted.

If you have steel pens for writing or sketching at home, you can take ink to practice calligraphy, or simply sign the label with a black gel pen.

JOLLY ROGER

You will need a piece of black fabric and white acrylic paint. Cut out the flag without forgetting

leave a margin where the flag will be attached to the pole. handle

the edges are not necessary, the pirates most likely did not do this. Can

prepare a stencil drawing from cardboard and apply paint with a swab. Or

draw directly on the fabric. Then it is better to outline the drawing with

soapy remnants, as tailors do.

There is also a non-childish option - carefully draw with bleach.

TABLE DECORATION

Materials:

wooden sticks,

We cut out a sail from paper or a card and put it on a stick-mast. Attach the flag.

Or, for example, they could be:

PIRATE HOLIDAY INVITATION

For the invitation, we will prepare pieces of the card in the same way as for the label.

The base of the invitation is made from watercolor paper. It can be interesting to color it - wet the entire sheet and paint with watercolor spots (we use 2-3 matching colors). When the paper dries, it must be ironed.

MAP

A pirate card is an indispensable attribute of any pirate party. On this map, it is imperative to look for treasures hidden somewhere by mom, treasures must certainly be in a chest and may not be gold, but candy)))

To make a believable map, you can put a sheet of paper in the oven - it will turn brown there, or soak the sheet with tea and dry it on a radiator. Then slightly cut off and burn the corners, you can crumple the leaf a little. Then take felt-tip pens and draw a map of the area, it can be an apartment or a playground near the house. Naturally, when drawing a map, it is worth starting from the age of the children - the little ones I don’t think that they will be able to understand the secrets of cartography or read what is written there, then either mom will come to the rescue, or you need to draw in an accessible way for children))))

It would also be great to find a message in a bottle (I'm thinking of throwing it into an inflatable pool that will stand by our rented house by the sea). In the message, you can write tasks that children need to complete so that the main and long-awaited at the holiday appears - CAKE)))

TABLE

Do not forget that dishes should be not only beautiful, but also healthy. Each of us knows that what is healthy is not always tasty, therefore, in order to interest the little robbers in the dish, decorate the plate with thematic flags with inscriptions or put a card in each plate, the guests will definitely try the treat! And of course, the main component of the festive table will be a pirate cake. A cake in the form of a pirate ship will attract the admiring glances of absolutely everyone.

Some children's cookies, pretzels or other nonsense that is "carried around" during the holiday can be put into chests.

In some dishes, you can simply insert sails - on which you can make funny inscriptions for older children - for example, these are chopped bones, and for younger children, just sails will do))))

These jellies are quite easy to make yourself:

Well, this idea is more complicated, for especially creative mothers:

Pirate cupcakes for the table: (it's funny that Pezz sweets, my favorite as a child, were inserted instead of a mouth)

Ala-buter - I don’t think it’s delicious to chew bread - but how the decoration will do)

Pirate Cakes:

Bake a chocolate cake, crumble it into small crumbs in a bowl and mix thoroughly with butter and cottage cheese (curd mass) and roll into small balls. Let them cool in the freezer of the refrigerator, stick the sticks in the middle and dip them in white chocolate. Leave in the refrigerator for another half hour. Then, using colored icing, draw on pirate faces and bandanas.

Here's another funny idea - I don't know how difficult it is to cry out: make jelly in quarters of orange peels and attach sails) I think the jelly is poured into the whole orange peel, and when it freezes it is cut, but I still don’t know how to squeeze out all the pulp through a small hole)))

Since we will celebrate at sea, and I don’t know how to make something to order there, I was looking for options so that I could do it myself. For example, buy cakes and simply decorate them with colored icing from tubes.

with such sails on toothpicks, you can modify purchased pies

fruit decoration idea

I think any hostess has a recipe for stuffing eggs))

not very appetizing, for me, but you can think of something similar in a healthier version)

In the next photo, I liked the idea with the sausage octopus in the lower right corner

If you don’t want to bother with the table, you can give everyone a chest with fast food:

And, of course, any table will be exquisite if each guest is given such a card.

CAKES

Some of them, especially dodgy mothers, will be able to make them themselves, for example, by completing the purchased ones as necessary (well, or bake them yourself). This one, for example, I think can be easily done if you cut two cakes correctly and fold them later))

And for this, you only need cookies-boats, which are in most supermarkets (even ours have learned how to make them, though not as tasty as imported ones)

And this one can be made by a novice confectioner-mother, who works at least a little with mastic)

COMPETITIONS

Now it's time to talk about competitions. The following are contests that do not require a lot of space to run and can be easily arranged in a small hall or room.

Of course, the culmination of the holiday should be the search for a treasure chest.

The chest can be prepared in advance by making it from an ordinary shoe box, pasted over with brown paper on the sides, you can draw coins on the paper, gems and so on. The chest itself can be filled with sweets or inexpensive souvenirs, you can put chocolate or plastic coins, small ones, pebbles, shells, because each guest must take some of the treasures with them.

To find a hidden chest you need a map, just like real pirates. The map can be cut into several equal parts) from 4 to 8, depending on the number of contests and hide parts of the map in different places. Pirates will have to successfully pass all the tests, solve all the riddles in order to collect a treasure map and find the coveted chest.

Here are just a small part of the competitions for which details have already been made:

1. "SOLVING CROSSWORDS"

A real pirate must know maritime terms. If the pirates are vertically guessed a word in which one of the parts of the card is hidden. If the pirates solve the crossword puzzle, they will find out where the piece of the map is hidden.

Crossword puzzles, in fact, can be done several, it all depends on whether your and his friends are intellectual and how interesting it will be for them. But believe me, not only adults, but also adults will be happy to solve a real pirate crossword puzzle with a riddle!

If space in the apartment allows, you can hold several mobile competitions, for example,

2. Competition "SEA KNOT"

Any pirate is simply obliged to possess the art of knitting sea knots. As far as beginner robbers can do it, the next contest will show. To get started you need

appoint a leader. It could be the birthday boy himself. The leader leaves the room. The rest of the participants hold hands tightly, forming a closed chain. This chain

it is required to "tie" in a marine knot. Players can turn around, step over the hands of a player standing nearby, climb anywhere without letting go of the neighbor's hand. After

after the sea knot is ready, and the participants are "twisted" to the limit, the pirate crew shouts: "Polundra!" The host enters the room and untangles the knot without tearing it.

chain. The competition can be repeated several times. Those who unravel the sea knot can be awarded with commemorative medals, “Real Pirate”, and the last leader is given part of the map and also a medal. You can also reward desperate pirates who courageously endured an uncomfortable situation.

The host (mother) announces: And now I want to know how friendly the team is and whether you recognize each other blindfolded by voice. A “blind” sailor is chosen among the players. The rest of the players, holding hands, stand around him. He claps his hands, and the participants begin to walk in a circle. The blind man claps again and the players in the circle stop and freeze. After that, the "Blind" presenter points to one of the guys, trying to guess who it is. If he guesses right the first time, then

the one whom the leader guessed takes his place. If the “blind” presenter did not guess on the first try, then he can touch this participant and try to guess a second time, he can ask the participant to say a word, bark, meow, etc. In case of luck, the “blind” becomes the player who was recognized. This competition can be held two or three times. At the end of the competition, the host announces that the team is really friendly and gives the pirates part of the map.

4. Competition "DRUNKED TREASURES"

This game can become both a competition for the captain (birthday boy) and any volunteer pirate. Prepare a large basin filled with water. Throw a few oranges, lemons, bananas or apples into the basin. The pirate participant kneels in front of a basin of water, clasping his hands behind his back, and tries to grab the fruit with his teeth and pull it out of the water. When all the fruits are pulled out, a part of the card is solemnly handed over to the pirate participant and, of course, a medal for participating in the contest “The Most Brave Pirate!”

5. Competition "PIRATE DANCES"

The host announces: “I know that you are all friendly, dexterous, brave pirates, and now I want to see how you can dance!”

All guests-pirates stand in a circle. According to pirate music, they pass to each other in a circle a pirate symbol (a spyglass, a dagger in a sheath, a hat, a bottle of rum). The host interrupts the transmission of the whistle symbol. Whoever has the item in their hands goes to the center of the circle and shows the rest of the pirates dance moves. They repeat. After that, the game starts from the beginning until the moment of general satisfaction.

You can repeat this competition 3-4 times, after which the leader of the holiday captain is solemnly awarded a piece of the card.

In addition, it is possible to carry out several intellectual contests, For example:

Guessing riddles, puzzles, fairy tales, shifters, etc. entertaining contests.

And now, the map is assembled, you can follow the trail of treasures! When the cache is found, share the treasure among the pirates. It would be better if the presenter divides the treasure himself, just put the gifts in the chest into bags in advance, and so that there are no fights for gifts, take out the bags so that the pirates do not see what is there and loudly ask “To whom?” whoever responds first will get the first bag, and so on. Make sure that the bags are of equal value and gifts, otherwise some pirates will remain offended. Bags can be sewn from ordinary opaque fabric and tied at the top with a ribbon.

After that, the pirates can be invited to the table with treats! And if you still have time and energy left, you can hold relay races between the two teams for nice symbolic prizes.

Make sure everyone gets a medal or a small memento, and even if they don't win any of the competitions (and the judging must be fair no matter what), the "Contestant", "Brave Pirate", " active pirate”, “jolly pirate”, etc.

At the end, distribute a questionnaire to each guest of the holiday, let the pirates fill out a questionnaire for the birthday man for a long memory.

This holiday will surely be remembered by all participants, they will be completely delighted with it.
