Happy Birthday Pickle is 3

Yesterday he had a pirate themed party (mega-pirate party post to follow!) and one of the activities was a ‘pin (or blu tac) the eye patch on the pirate’ game. To make this, I took a large (A2 or A3) piece of card and drew a cartoon pirate outline by following this super simple tutorial from video jug.

I filled in the details and left one eye blank for the kids to aim their patch. I made a patch out of some thick black cardboard. The (blind-folded) mini pirates took turns sticking the patch on the pirate and of course there was a prize for the closest.
