If your family is anything like ours, from time to time you all gather around for a family movie night!
My kids love watching movies and of course, adding popcorn and some treats to mix.
Movie night is a great time to be with the family and have fun! If you want to make your kids movie time even more special, make this popcorn headband craft with them beforehand.
It’s an easy headband craft for kids that will not only be fun to make and wear but will also help kids develop fine motor skills and use their creativity.
This popcorn headband also comes with a free printable template in 2 versions so the whole family can participate.
Watch our quick video tutorial below, then make it with your kids!

Thanks! I just checked your email and it’s listed as “unconfirmed” which means you didn’t click the link in the first email. If you didn’t see it, my best guess is it landed in your junk folder. If you can check that folder for my email (sam@simpleeverydaymom.com) and click the link, you’ll be set ◡̈
