What's in the Box

One inflatable cutlass sword (56 cm length)

This Kids Pirate Cutlass Sword Accessory brings the high seas to Book Week morning without the sharp edges. Curved silver blade catches the light like real steel, bronze grip has embossed skull details, and the whole thing weighs next to nothing once inflated — slip it through a belt loop and you're set.

The metallic finish on the blade looks convincing from a metre away, and the exaggerated curve gives it classic Caribbean cutlass silhouette. Lightweight vinyl construction means it's safe for classroom sword fights (the pretend kind). Easy to inflate with a few breaths, easy to deflate and tuck in a drawer after the event.

Perfect For

Book Week & School Dress-Up Days: Natural pick for Treasure Island, Peter Pan pirate crews, or any adventure-on-the-high-seas book character parade.

Pirate Birthday Parties & Themed Events: Hand these out as party favours or use as costume props for treasure hunts, nautical photo booths, or backyard buccaneer adventures.

Halloween & Costume Parties: Pairs with any pirate getup — tricorn hat, striped shirt, eye patch, bandana. Works for kids and adults alike.

How to Wear It

Tuck it through a belt or sash at the hip for authentic swashbuckler carry. Pair with a tricorn hat, eye patch, striped tee, and boots. Skip the rigid props — this one's gentle enough for school dress-up rules.

Parent FAQs

How do you inflate this? Is it easy for kids to do themselves?

Standard mouth-valve inflation — takes about 10–15 breaths to fully inflate. Most kids aged 5+ can manage it themselves. Deflates quickly by opening the valve.

Can they wear this to school or kindy?

Yes — it's inflatable vinyl, so it meets most schools' "no rigid weapons" dress-up rules. Double-check your school's policy, but this is softer than a pool noodle.

How durable is the material? Will it pop easily?

It's welded-seam vinyl like beach toys — tough enough for a day's wear, but not indestructible. Avoid sitting on it or poking it with sharp objects. If it does puncture, patch it with bicycle tyre repair tape.

Is this suitable for rough play or just for costume display?

Light play is fine — pretend sword fights, posing for photos. It's not built for whacking things or using as an actual weapon. Think costume prop, not toy sword.

Care: Wipe clean with damp cloth. Deflate and store flat after use.
