For the pirate-in-training who isn't perhaps ready for all the small pieces of the pirate ship or the intricacies of a puzzle, this bathtime set is a true gem. Lots of pieces (good for sharing among sibling pirates), lots of fun. Soapy clean pirates - our favorite kind of all!

This model ship, complete with figures, swords and other essential accoutrements, is a step up from the Little People version and yet more charmingly preschool-oriented than the movie themed (and more expensive) flotilla for the bigger kids. It is packed with action - lots of moving parts and action elements, all designed to spark your little swashbuckler's imagination. Do keep the small pieces out of the reach of the younger ...

Being a pirate isn't all imagination play, of course. Pirates are tremendous problem-solvers, puzzlers of the first degree. Puzzles are a precursor to that essential spatial relations skill: treasure map reading. And your little sea captain will love this 100-piece floor puzzle with a classic pirate scene. It is challenging but captivating - come to think of it, just like being the parent of a pirate!

Call us old-fashioned, but it still makes us double-take to see tattoos (of course temporary) on the soft little biceps of our preschoolers. But it is only one of the ways that our kids outpace us (don't get us started on how they know how to use our cell phones and our computers when we know they don't have their own), and at least these are temporary! The truth is ...

This is a perfect primer for pirate behavior. A script for the preschool pirate method actor, if you will.

But you can indulge a little raucous behavior when it's during pretend time, and perhaps it is handy to have a "walk the plank" threat ready if that pirate appears ...

This book is a true treasure trove of pirate tales. It is a good introduction to readaloud books, a segue to chapter books that rely on plot instead of pictures. So, yes, it is intended for older kiddos, but we've seen so many little ones listen in rapt attention to the pirate stories from around the globe (Morocco, Scotland, Japan are represented, plus much more) that we couldn't keep it ...

Hooray! A pirate book with seafaring girls AND boys, and it's a sleepytime story to boot! When the den has been plundered and abandoned for a night's sleep below deck, break out this darling book. The pictures and text (complete with rhymes and wonderfully written questions that lead to the next page) are charming young, and the tale is pirate-y enough to delight but not so pirate-y as to seed ...
