The Pirate Song

We often sing this song in the school room and it’s quite popular.

I considered recording myself singing it but then thought you might enjoy a more professional  rendition!

If you’re going to sing-a-long, may I suggest using a deep and growly ‘pirate’ voice ⚓😆

Step 1: Prepare Eggs

Start this easy Easter craft by preparing a batch of hard-boiled eggs. When the eggs have cooled, place them in a large bowl of vinegar. Let the eggs soak for 20 minutes; this will allow the dye to adhere more permanently to the shells. Fill a shallow glass baking dish (like this Pyrex Oblong Glass Baking Dish, $10.99) with a thick layer of shaving cream; we used a plain drugstore shaving cream. Spray the shaving cream so that it covers the bottom of a pan with a layer that is about an inch thick.

Editor’s Tip: To make whipped cream dyed eggs, simply spread a layer of non-dairy whipped topping in the bottom of your pan about an inch thick. Follow the rest of the instructions to make dyed eggs with shaving cream or whipped cream eggs.

Step 2: Add Color to Shaving Cream

Generously place drops of food coloring on top of the shaving cream; we used a two-color combination for each set of eggs. You can use one color combination for the whole pan, or divide the pan of shaving cream into halves or quarters to create more color combinations. When most of the surface is covered with food coloring, drag a bamboo skewer across the top of the shaving cream to swirl and marble the colors.

Step 3: Roll Eggs

When the colored shaving cream is ready, put on a pair of gloves to protect your hands from the dye. Pick up a hard-boiled egg and set it gently on the surface of the shaving cream. Slowly roll the egg over the surface, so that the colored shaving cream completely coats the egg’s shell. Place the egg on a paper towel and let dry for 20 minutes—don’t wipe off any of the shaving cream until the egg has completely dried. Repeat this process with as many hard-boiled eggs as you’d like to color, reusing the colored shaving cream mixture.
