12 Days of Christmas: For Kids Who Love Pirates

It's Day 3 of our 12 Days of Christmas series, and today the spotlight is on gifts for kids who love pirates.

On Sale Today Only at Shiny Happy World

First up - the pattern for the Pirates vs. Ninjas Finger Puppets. Sew them by hand or by machine, made by kids of adults - either way these come together quickly and easily. The pattern also comes with a blank template so kids can design their own puppets after they make these guys.

Put some in a stocking - or put together a kit with all the supplies kids will need to make them themselves! It's a great gift to give when you'll be visiting Grandma's house and away from all their regular toys - something they can start playing with right away. Include this pattern, a couple of squares of white cotton fabric, a black marker, some colored pencils or crayons and a needle and thread. Easy peasy - and fun! Today only the pattern is just $4. Get it here.

You know what goes great with pirate and ninja finger puppets? A puppet theater with a pirate ship template! This one is free, fits in a doorway, and rolls up for easy compact storage. If you can sew a straight(ish) line, then you can make this is less than an hour. Really! Get the free pattern here.

For all you stitchers out there, here's an embroidery pattern for your little pirate's room. I've got you covered if your pirate's a girl too - the pattern includes an option for Hurricane Hattie, a girl pirate with wild pigtails and an eyepatch. :-) Today only, the pattern's just $4. Get it here.
