Follow me Mateys on an adventure of a lifetime!

2. Glue the base of the egg carton on top of the lid as shown. Allow to dry.

5. Cut out 2 blue rectangles of cover paper and poke a skewer through each. Ensure the blunt end is at the top of the flags. 3. Paint the outside of the entire egg carton burnt sienna and the inside of the base gold. Paint the extra strip burnt sienna on one side and gold on the other. Allow to dry.

6. Poke the skewers into the egg carton to create the ship’s sails. 4. Attach the egg carton strip with glue onto the ship like a handle on one end. Allow to dry.

7. Cut out 5 triangles from red cover paper for the ship’s bunting. Glue the triangles along a piece of paper rope. Allow to dry.

Ahoy Matey! Arrgg, it’s time to set sail and follow our treasure maps to an island far away!

8. Glue a medium and large wooden bead onto the blunt end of a skewer. Poke the skewer into the front of the ship. This will be the ship’s figurehead.

11. Create a steering wheel using black foam. Attach with glue. Cut out an anchor from gold foil and attach to a piece of paper rope. Wind the rope around a wooden spool and attach the spool to the side of the ship using a chenille stem and glue. 9. Glue yellow yarn to the large bead to create hair, then glue on 2 wiggle eyes and a small paper mouth. Allow to dry.

12. Cut a flag from red cover paper and glue to the top of the sail at the back of the boat. Glue a medium wooden bead to the top of the sails with glue. Allow to dry. 10. Glue 1 end of the bunting to the head of the figurehead and the other end to the tip of the closest sail.
