Chalk Pirate Flag Craft For Kids
For this pirate theme, we have been doing the Build Up Summer Learning Week 1 Pirate. We have loved doing pirates this summer and loved several of the books. Pirates are a theme I think do well for boys and girls.
The Chalk Pirate Flag Craft is a great addition to the pirate activities on the site.
Book We Read with the Chalk Pirate Flag Craft
We had a hard time picking a book this month. There were so many to choose from. What the girls ended up picking for the book was Pirates (Magic Tree House Research Guide, paper). Yes, we read the nonfiction book for the series. It was lots of fun. The part they liked best was the flags. We talked about how pirates did not live a good life and things were not all glorious.
Chalk Pirate Flag Craft
The part they picked from the book was about how the flags differed when they said there was just one pirate flag. We decided we would make pirate flags.
This is a simple craft pirate flag craft done with paper and chalk.
What we used to make the Pirate Flag Craft
We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission.
- black cardstock (You can use other black paper I just like how well card stock holds up when applying wet chalk to it.)
- white chalk
- bowl with water
How We made the Pirate Flags
First, they dipped their chalk into the water. The reason is it paints differently wet than dry. This activity could be done without the water.
Each started working on their own flag. They all picked something different they were doing.
As we were going you did notice the difference between wet chalk and the dry chalk when they were coloring.
Here are our completed Pirate Flags

I love the pirates theme and so does my class. I would love the book, Everything I Know About Pirates.
Those are some scary-looking pirate flags. I definitely wouldn’t bother those ships! 🙂
Flags turned out great!!
I love the pirate flags! My boys loved working on the summer week 1 printables and I think this would be a great way to extend the play and learning. Mt boys are under 8 so I would love the book for the younger crowd.
What great flags your girls made!
Thank you for helping to bring a spoonful of reading fun to the Poppins Book Nook this month!
What a great idea to mix the chalk with water to provide a different medium. My younger son doesn’t like the feeling of chalk on his hands but maybe he could be persuaded to try this!
What a simple, fun craft for pirate lovers!
