Another post only for fun 🎃🙌

Sticking with our chosen theme of “Pirates” this Halloween, I’ve made this for my daughter and her friends (aged 7-9) .

🏴‍☠️ Hook ’em if you can! ☠️🪝 Captain Hook’s Ring Toss is ready for some Halloween fun! 🎃🏴‍☠️

It was quick & simple to make, I used a large white board (purchased from Hobby Craft), some acrylic paints and acrylic paint pens, glue and plastic pirate hook hands 🙌
