CHILDREN at a Kidderminster nursery had a swashbuckling time as part of a themed play day.
Little Trinity Nursery hosted a pirate play day on Thursday, October 20, where the children dressed up, created their own 'Black Pearl' pirate ship and dug for treasure.
Gaynor Carter, nursery manager, said: "There is no boundary to a child's imagination, with role play a fantastic way for them to express themselves and to simply have fun."
Dressing up and pretending to be pirates, the children made swords from college materials and built a very fine cardboard box pirate ship, before going outside to play pirates in their outside wooden pirate ship and digging for treasure in the nursery sandpit.
Miss Carter added: "This type of activity is fantastic for all children from the youngest at two-years through to our older children of four-years, they can all take part.
"Dressing up and creating their very own pirate characters was fantastic fun to watch and then the giggles and shear excitement as they dug to find their lost treasure topped the day off perfectly."
