Jumbo Pirate Ship

Go sailing on the high seas with this adorable Treasures Jumbo pirate ship! Spend hours of quality time constructing this box with your kids and then enjoy watching them have loads of fun playing as pirates!

You will need:

  • 1 Treasures Jumbo Toddler (10-15kgs) box
  • 2 x narrow cardboard tubes (about 80cm long) - you can use tubes from the inside of gift wrapping rolls
  • 5 sheets of A4 paper
  • Small chain
  • 2 milk bottle lids

Treasures Jumbo Pirate Ship

To make:

1. Punch out of boat the anchor port hole and bow pieces. Don't punch out the back of the boat.

2. Attach the bow pieces to the front of the boat as per instructions on the bottom of the box.

To create the masts:

1. Trim the top back flap of the box to be even with the pieces the bow was punched out of.

2. Use your cardboard tube as a template to draw then cut a half circle in the top back flap. Glue or stick with double sided tape one of the milk bottle lids to the bottom of the box in line with the half circle you've just cut, this will hold your cardboard tube mast. Glue your tube into the milk bottle top and blue into the half circle.

3. Cut 50cm off the other cardboard tube for your front mast and glue or use double sided tape to stick it to the inside of the box.

To create the sails:

1. Use your masts as templates to cut holes in both long sides of 3 pieces of A4 paper and thread onto masts. Do the same with the remaining 2 pieces but cut holes in the short sides of the paper.

2. Create a Jolly Rodger flag and attach with glue or double sided tape to the top of the taller mast.

To make the bowsprit:

1. Attach the last milk bottle lid to the lower, outside front of the box (where the bow is attached).

2. Glue the remaining piece of cardboard tube into the milk bottle cap and glue to the top of the bow. The bowspirit will be on an upward angle.

To make porthole and anchor:

1. Trace around the portholes and create two more from the cardboard punched out at the front of the boat..

2. Glue or tape in place next to the punched out porthole on both sides of the boat.

3. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the anchor and attach the chain, wrap other end of chain around the bowsprit.

To make the plank:

1. Cut a rectangle piece of cardboard from the discarded pieces of the box, 13cm long by 3.5cm wide.

2. Measures 3cm from one end and fold, glue the 3cm piece to the inside of the boat through one of the cut out portholes.
