Things to make with your pirates coloring pages
Draw your own treasure map
Color the treasure map, then use it as a model: draw a map of your home or garden with a dotted trail and an X, hide a small prize there and let someone follow the map.
Design a pirate flag
Pirate ships flew their own flags. Before you color a ship, choose a flag design and colors for your crew and add the same flag to every ship page you color.
Color a stormy sea
On the storm page, use dark blues and grays for the waves and sky, then leave the lightning and the lighthouse beam bright white or pale yellow so they stand out.
Each picture is an individual vector PDF. Print on US Letter, or choose “Fit to page” for A4. Try one copy first to check the margins.
