Little Tikes 2-in-1 Pirate Ship | PLAYMOBIL Pirate Ship Building Set | Fisher-Price Imaginext Shark Bite Pirate Ship |
Once a toddler decides they’re interested in something, there’s little point in trying to detour them. They will sleep, breathe, dream, and play about whatever their current obsession is.
Our toddler is currently obsessed with antennae, fish and the ocean, cranes, traffic cones, buses, and – well – pirates. Since we are looking for awesome pirate toys for our own family, we figured we’d share what we found.
In case you have a swashbuckler in your life, too, here are 27 of the best pirate toys for toddlers (and a few for older kids, too).
A’hoy mateys!

This Perfect “First Pirate Ship” Is Fun on Dry Land and In the Bath
PLAYMOBIL® is a toddler favorite, and this pirate ship set is no exception! Your toddler will have hours of imaginative play with this ship and pirate play set. Your child can hunt for sunken treasure or use the functioning water cannon to shoot down unsuspecting enemies (or unsuspecting parents) in the bath. Cute and engaging, for 18 months+.
Action and Adventure Await Your Little Pirate With the Shark Ship
Once your kiddo is too old for the PLAYMOBIL® pirate ship, this Fisher-Price pirate ship will provide hours of shark-chomping fun.

This Pull-Along Pirate Ship Will Make Learning Feel Like an Adventure
This toy starts as a pirate ship with plenty to keep your little one busy. Open it up, and it transforms into a deserted island. This interactive toy teaches while it entertains with two different sound effect playing modes (colors and numbers) and lots of kid-friendly pirate phrases. Adorable fun for ages 1.5 to four years old.

The Pirates Have Commandeered The Bathtub With This Interactive Set
First, let your little one build the ship and raft. Then let their imagination take over as they set the scene with all the reusable wall “sticker” accessories. Fun for around 18 months and up.

If your child still puts everything in their mouth, stick with one of these non toxic bath toys.

Little pirates will have so much fun playing, they won’t even realize they’re learning. It’s travel size and made for kids three years old and up, but probably better for four through seven year olds.

Take the Struggle Out of Bath Time With This Adorable Book
The humorous tone and silly antics of the sweet pig will have your little ones erupting in giggles and perhaps even a little less hesitant about hopping in the tub. Note, the pirate theme lasts a few pages, before the pig moves on to other characters (knight, astronaut, etc). I wish it was available as a bath book!
This Cute Bath Time Pirate Ship Will Make Baths a Breeze

With more than 51 reusable puffy stickers, the pirate ship inside the book can be set up in hundreds of different scenes to promote creativity and story-telling.
