How To Make A Crayon Hat Out of Paper
Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring the crayon to life!
First, encourage your child to take one of the crayon decoration pieces and glue it to the top and middle of the headband.
Next, take the second decoration piece and glue it slightly below the first one.
Now, help your child place the eyes in the middle of the head and glue them in place.
Finally, use the tape or a stapler to attach an extender on each side of the headband base. This handy addition will make sure your headband sits just right.
