Bold pirate hat coloring page with skull badge, crossed bones, laced band, and tall feather plume.

Pirate Hat with Skull Badge and Feather

A grand pirate hat curls wide at the brim, with a skull badge up front and a feathery plume tucked to one side.

🎨 How to color it

Color the pirate hat deep navy, the skull badge bone white, the laced band sandy tan, and the tall feather bright red. Use chunky crayons for the big hat sections, and let little hands scribble safely inside the bold outlines. Add gold dots along the curved trim so this captain’s hat looks ready for a sunny deck parade.

The story behind this coloring page

Vera’s Feather for No One — Every day, Vera puffed the captain’s hat and patted the big feather. Swish, swish! Read the full story →

Every day, Vera puffed the captain’s hat and patted the big feather. Swish, swish! She wanted it tall for the noon parade.

Until one day, a tiny crab clicked from under the dock, stuck in a bit of scratchy rope. Because of that, Vera pulled the feather free. Because of THAT, the crab scooted home, and the hat looked plain. “Shh, off you go,” Vera whispered.

At noon, the feather stood tall again—returned with a shiny shell tucked beside it. Can you spot the feather that went swish, swish?
