-
Cut a pointed crown shape from construction paper. Use the entire length of the paper. We used yellow, but you can let your child choose their favorite color.
-
Pour 2-3 colors of washable acrylic paint (we like this one from Crayola the best) on a plate for the child to paint their crown with.
-
You can also provide sequins, rhinestones, and/or glitter to glue on the crown. But those can get quite messy, so that’s up to you.
-
While the child is busy with their painting, take another piece of construction paper and cut it into long strips approximately 2 inches wide.
-
Measure the child’s head to see how many strips you will need to wrap around their head.
-
Staple that many together end to end.
-
When their painting is done and dried, staple the strips to the sides of the crown.
-
Measure their head one last time and place a mark where the strips should meet.
-
Staple the two strips together then slide on the child’s head.
-
Now enjoy the crown in pretend play for the rest of the day!
