All my children loved preschool and reception when it was pirate themed so I’ve pulled together all my pirate themed science activities and pirate sensory ideas into one place. Most of these were tested with my daughter’s YR class. They loved testing the little bags to see which kept pirate treasure driest and making treasure maps was very popular too.
