Treasure maps for kids. Pirate party for kids: yo-ho-ho and a bottle of cola

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 surroundings 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, turtles on batteries and others 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 almost a ready-made mast for the galleon's developing sails! 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 more piranhas unhook.

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 Rocky coast 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 serpentine and sweets into several balloons, 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 monkfish, even for an abortion!

Completion of the quest: grand opening of 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!

We have already learned so much about pirates, enough for a lifetime. But there is one more detail, and it is called a treasure map. Everyone remembered, and boardings, and liters of rum, even a parrot, but they forgot what beckoned everyone to become a pirate - treasures. And today we have a chance to hide personal treasures and find out how to draw a map to search for them.

Why pirates buried wealth and drew a map remains a pleasant mystery. The first thought that came to mind was that the rum shortened their memory so much that they had to draw a way back and forth. Probably, the same rum somehow magically influenced the desire to bury something in the ground. But it was not there. Not everyone is around with a squirrel. After thinking a little, the second thought came - it's not so easy to carry tons of looted gold with you on one ship. But with a pirate ship it is not so easy to enter the port - immediately to the festive hanging of the bodies. Therefore, the pirates buried treasures on the nearest shores, and the map served as a Wikipedia for the traveler. But the disagreement lived among the pirates, they did not trust each other. How more people knew about the treasure less people beginning to know about the treasure. That is why they believe that a pirate is a friend to a pirate only on the deck of a ship, while on land they are enemies, and this pure truth, for how many descended on land for only one purpose. But there were also treasures for which it was an honor and duty, not a crime, to kill a few finished pirates. For example, these:

• Recently, on the territory of Ireland, we found a ship that sank very recently in 1941, from which the lucky ones lifted 48 tons of silver. There was no measure of their happiness, but the Irish people are harsh, did not distribute coins to the poor and needy, but threw them into the development of the shipping industry. Suddenly they find something else.
• Mel Fisher is a legend among treasure hunters. It was he who in 1985 found the ship Atacha, which sank, just think, back in 1622. Briefly about prices. More than 200 gold and 1100 silver bars were lifted from the ship, and all kinds of jewelry for ladies. How much money is that? Come on, her, robot, I will become a treasure hunter.
• But the largest production fell on honor in 2007, when the Odyssey company (as it was symbolically called) found the Merchant Royal merchant ship, on board of which a cargo worth a total of 500 million dollars was lifted. This is not for you to eat boogers from your nose. The company will receive 90% of the total amount. And I would like at least one gold coin.

Before, how to draw a map, you hide something, then draw and let your friends search. Yes, and do not forget what and where lies. Come on, treasure hunters.

How to draw a treasure map with a pencil step by step

Step one.

Step two.

Step three.

Step four.

Step five.

If the map has already been drawn, but no one can find the treasure, and even you forgot where it is - don't worry, the end of the world is coming soon, so you can draw something else.

The Encrypted Treasure Map is not only a game that brings a lot of happiness to boys, but also an occasion for the realization of creativity. I understood this when at school they asked me to prepare some kind of encrypted text on a poster for the “Best Coder” competition. I approached this lesson responsibly, and what came out of this venture - see for yourself.

Usually we do all school crafts with our son together. But this time we had a lot of crafts for the school that needed to be prepared in 2 days. We distributed tasks among ourselves, and I had to encrypt the information. But this is even better, since the son at the break could decipher not only other posters, but also this one - he was interested.

I want to tell you right away why I chose the treasure map. It seemed to me that ordinary puzzles and similar ciphertexts for children in grades 1-4 would be too boring. A treasure map with ciphered names of continents, islands, oceans and mountains, deserts and lakes is something that will interest children more than plain ciphertext.

I imagined myself small and imagined a wall with posters, ciphers and puzzles. A treasure map would definitely grab my attention. Especially if it was almost like the real one. I think if you make such a card for your children (just because, and not for a competition), then they will have fun and be able to develop their logical abilities.

To make a treasure map you need:
- thick paper
- colour pencils
- red marker
- scissors
- stickers or pictures on a pirate theme
- glue
- matches

To make the map look as real as possible, I set fire to thick paper on all sides and extinguished it as soon as the edges took on desired forms burnt card.


On a separate sheet, I printed out a note about the cipher with which I decided to encrypt everything that was on the card.

For the map, I encrypted the legend of the pirate treasure. This is how it looked when finished. I printed it on a separate sheet of paper and cut it out (as randomly as possible).

On the Internet I found pictures on a pirate theme. I cut them out so that I can stick them in the right places later.

I glued an encrypted legend and a plate with a decoder to the map. Where there was free space, I drew continents and islands.

Using a knife, I rubbed the lead of a soft simple pencil.

Rubbed the pencil with a piece of paper. I painted some places (lakes, deserts, etc.) with colored pencils.

I distributed the pirate-themed pictures on the map and glued them with a glue stick.

With a red felt-tip pen, I drew the line of the ship's path to the treasure island.

She signed the encrypted names of mountains, lakes, oceans, islands. In general, there are fantasies where to roam =)

I hope you like the idea of ​​making your own treasure map.

It is far from always necessary to buy a new toy for a child in order to attract his attention. Sometimes it pays to show a little imagination and make a little effort to come up with interesting game able to interest the most fastidious guys. One of these undertakings can be a treasure hunt on a treasure map. Such entertainment can be occupied for a long time not only by one adventurer, but also by a large friendly company of treasure hunters. How to draw a treasure map in several ways, and will be discussed in today's article.

Required accessories

In order to draw a believable treasure map, you will need to stock up on some important items, these are:

• album sheet;
• colored pencils or markers;
• lighter or matches;
• rope or thick thread;
• "hidden treasures".

All items should be discussed in order.

Lighter, rope and pencils

So, the landscape sheet - this is future card. Its size depends on the preferences, imagination and desires of the painter. By the way, he will also decide how to draw a treasure map and where to hide the treasure on the diagram. Colored pencils, which can be replaced with felt-tip pens, markers or paints (depending on what the child likes to use the most), will help to give the creation a unique color. A lighter or matches can artificially age the landscape sheet: burnt spots will add mystery to the masterpiece. Well, a rope or a thick thread will be needed so that when folding the finished card into a roll, you can tie it and fasten it. Of course, the most important thing is the treasures that will be hidden. These can be any edible goodies, candies, or favorite treats of the particular child for whom the map is being drawn up. You can use small toys or a set of stickers. In principle, any little thing that comes to hand is suitable for this. All these attributes will bring the resulting masterpiece almost to the ideal.

How to draw a treasure map with your own hands: a few easy ways

The first way is for the parent.

To begin with, it is worth deciding on the place where the long-awaited reward will be waiting for the "treasure hunters". A package of delicious cookies, fruit or any other treat is quite suitable for her. Having discovered the hidden, the kids will not only rejoice, but also have a bite to eat with pleasure. Once the location is chosen, you can get down to business. Since drawing a treasure map for children is quite simple, even someone who has not picked up a pencil for a long time will cope with this task.

Stages

How we will draw the map:

1. If the treat is hidden in an apartment or house, you should start the route from the farthest point and lead the children to success as confusingly as possible. The more difficult the trail, the more interesting it is to look for the treasure.
2. Place significant objects located in the apartment on the map. If creativity you can’t brag at all, these items can simply be signed.
3. Aged the card by burning the edges with matches or a lighter. For greater credibility, you can burn a hole in the center.
4. Roll the resulting masterpiece into a roll, tie it with a rope and throw it to the child. The result will not be long in coming. Children's thirst for adventure will involve you in the game with lightning speed.

The second way involves co-creation.

This option is suitable for an upcoming children's party, for example, if the child has a birthday party with invited guests. It is worth doing everything the same as in the first method, only to give free rein to children's imagination. Let the kid develop his own unique route leading to the goal, and decorate the drawing at his discretion. Explain to the child that the success or failure of the treasure hunt will depend on how to draw a treasure map: the more accurately you indicate the route and indicate important details, the easier it will be to move towards the goal.

Play and creativity are integral parts child development, and if they can be combined, backed up with delicious treats and gifts, then this is a huge boon for the younger generation.

An old pirate map is easy to create with your own hands. Children from the age of four will be able to help you in its manufacture. And to draw it on their own is within the power of children 7-8 years old or older. Such a pattern can become an element of the design of a children's room, serve as an accessory for a child's room. theme day birthday or playing pirates or searching for treasure. Children like such "ancient" things, especially boys. By the way, the method of "aging" paper can be useful in many other cases. For example, on such paper you can write a greeting card or make a vintage album.
How to make an old pirate map with your own hands
Take thick Whatman paper, moisten it with water using a cosmetic cotton pad. Then we take ground coffee and pour it on paper. You can lightly smear with your hand to evenly cover the entire sheet. Let's get this "beauty". Even the smallest children will be happy to participate in this creative process!
Let's wait until the coffee dries and shake it off the paper. The most impatient can use a hair dryer to dry. The same must be repeated on the other side of the paper. Let's get this sheet.
We "aged" the paper and got the basis for an old pirate map.
You can also age paper with tea. To do this, you need to brew strong tea, wait until it cools down, crumple the paper and place it in a vessel with tea for 20-30 minutes. Then take out the paper, dry it and smooth it with an iron.
To make it clear that our pirate map is really old, we will unevenly cut the edges of the map with scissors. This work can also be entrusted to kids - perhaps they will turn out even more picturesque than yours!
To add color, the edges of the card can be set on fire on a candle. This is not a mandatory procedure at all. And, of course, only adults should perform it!
So, we created a "parchment" for an old pirate map with our own hands. Now we need to fill it with content. Let's draw a sketch, then transfer it to the map with a simple pencil. It is most convenient to glaze the picture - put it on the window in the light and circle the lines. Draw thin and precise lines, because it is not recommended to use an eraser on our "parchment"!
You can outline the drawing with felt-tip pens in brown, orange, red shades.
Our map lacks only a wax seal. The best way to imitate such a print is self-removing polymer clay (terracotta color). If there is no clay, then, of course, you can take ordinary plasticine. But such a seal would be fragile. To increase the life of your plasticine print, cover it with a thin layer of nail polish.
Take clay or plasticine, roll up two balls and flatten them into cakes. We put a rope on one cake, stick the second one on top. Let's press. Now let's take some decoration with a convex pattern (or a wine cork) and attach it to our seal so that an impression remains.
Another option is to make a print out of paper and cardboard. Cut out two print parts from red cardboard (or cardboard and paper) and glue them together, laying a rope in the middle. Any drawings and inscriptions can be applied to the paper "print".
Our old do-it-yourself pirate map is ready! You can start the game. Happy sailing!
