Away Rio!

I have always like this song. Here's a creative version of the song by Rambling Sailors. I know some of their music is sold on CDBaby.

Silly Pirates for Kids

This little gem is cute and entertaining for little kids.

Pirate Heroes

Historically, pirates generally were NOT heroes, but in popular fiction, Pirates are often portrayed as folk heroes.

I like this YouTube video using clips from Pirates of the Caribbean with Jennifer Saunders "Holding Out For A Hero" as music.

Pirate for Halloween?

Will you be a pirate for Halloween? Or, will you dress your child up as a pirate? What will be your props? How will you dress?

When I was a kid, I was a pirate and wore my mother's earrings and a billowy skirt. When I dressed my son as a pirate, he wore a sailor's coat (actually a blue jacket with white epaulet stripes I picked up at a second hand store) with a toy parrot sewed on the shoulder. I also fashioned a fake hook out of a plastic hanger and black construction paper. He had his Disney pirate hat, so he was set with a bit of makeup showing fake scars on his face.
