Pirates, Ho - Wednesday

Wednesday looks like a gorgeous day to welcome our first Stories by the Garden Program. The theme is Pirates, with author Sarah Thomson reading from her new book, Pirates, Ho! We will also make some sailor/pirate hats, so bring nimble fingers if you can!
If your kids leave excited for more, check out these crafts and booklists. Picture books (from my favorite resoures, the Center for Children's Books, but from 2005)
For older kids : an annotated bibliography of pirate related chapter books
Google search of Pirate Crafts
And if you get completely inspired, check out the New England Pirate Museum in Salem MA (or just their activities page)
