These scroll templates would make a great addition to pirate-themed history lessons, lessons about medieval England, and lessons focused on the fantasy and adventure genres of literature.

Fancy getting a little crafty? Using these lovely designs as a template, you could help children make their own scrolls using a few magic ingredients - coffee and water. 

How to make a vintage paper scroll:

• Get a piece of blank paper
  
• Smother it (or dip it) in a diluted coffee solution
  
• Hang up to dry on the washing line or a piece of string with a peg
  
• Rip off the edges and scuff it up a bit to make it look old  

For extra authenticity, bury the completed scroll under some dry sand or dirt for a few minutes, and it will look like you've just found a buried treasure map!
