Jolly Rogers!

I have another simple pirate craft for you. This time it's pirate flags, aka Jolly Rogers. I cut out some flags from construction paper,

and the kids decorated them with the same skulls and bones we used for our pirate hats.

Although I did print out the skulls in a smaller size so they'd fit on the flags better. Then I attached a bamboo skewer to the back with tape. I made sure the pointy end was covered with tape so the kids wouldn't poke themselves.

And yes, like the hats, I had all colors available. Most pirate flags were black, but there were a few red ones. The red flags meant the pirates on that ship would fight to the death and show no mercy. Just a little bit of trivia for ya!
