Crowns

Materials needed:
Flexible Measuring Tape or String
Pencil
Posterboard
Scissors (only to be used with adult supervision)
Glue and Tape (stapler optional - with adult supervision)
Colored Paper
(any kind of paper will do. You can even use aluminum foil, old wrapping paper, newspaper, old postcards... anything you have... and remember... we also want to teach our children to be resourceful!)

You Could Also Use:
Old Ribbons, Glitter, Macaroni, Dry Cleaner Cardboard,
whatever you have will be fine!

Directions: For a perfect fit, measure your child's head with the tape or string. Make the width of the hat one or two inches wider for overlap and mark that on the posterboard. Draw a horizontal zigzag pattern about 10 inches to 12 inches away from the bottom of the posterboard - this will be the spikes of the crown. Cut out crown and use your imagination to decorate. When finished, overlap the edges to create the hatband and either staple, glue or tape. Have fun!!
