September 15:  Make a hat day. 

We have come across some pretty cool hat designs for kids to make and decorate in your classroom.

Hat design # 1: King and Queen Crowns

• Take a paper plate and fold it in half, cut the center of the plate like a pizza to create the triangles of the crown.
• Have the children color and decorate the hat the way they would like it to look. Then have the children fold the triangles up to create the crown.
• Now they can wear their master piece throughout the day and show off their artistic talent.

Hat design # 2: Ladybug Headband

• Grab a sheet of construction paper and wrap it around the child’s head to make sure this will fit on their head. Size it according to comfort for the child.
• Take a hole punch and in the middle of the head band punch to holes, this is where you will thread the pipe cleaner through to create the antennas of the lady bug.
• Next cut a semi circle and place it under the hole punches. Creating the face of the lady bug.
• Have the children glue some wiggle eyes and draw a smile with a white crayon.
• Last have the children decorate the rest of the headbands with a black marker or crayon and draw the dots of the lady bug.
