Forget the treasure chest — the real gold is in the stories your kids dream up! First Mate helps you scrap the summer sagas, pirate takeovers, beach-day heroics, and backyard quests where imagination leads and grown-ups follow. Whether the “ship” is a scooter or the grill cover, these are the stories you’ll be glad you wrote down. Because one day, they’ll steer their own ship — and you’ll want to remember the first time they believed they could.

Inside you’ll find 20 patterned papers and 5 bonus solids You’ll also unpack a collection of just enough pretties including: baby sharks, daddy sharks, water bubbles, waves, colored coral, 3 buttons, 3 bows, 5 rubber dots, 2 colored paper party fans, 5 flowers, 3 labels, a treasure chest, a message in a bottle, a strip of ribbon, sea glass, a pirates flag, rubber word strips, starfish, a curl of string, patterned tags, a happy sun, a yellow tassel, a tiki torch, 3 washi strips and 10 pieces of Word Art. Drop shadows for illustration only.
