Kindergarten springtime hats

I couldn't resist sharing. This is my favorite kindergarten one-day project, and I've done it every year FOREVER, or at least since I began teaching elementary art in 1985. We use colored paper tape, little sponges for moistening it, scissors, and paper plates. I demo folding, rolling, cutting and twisting the paper tape, and they decorate the back of their plates. I punch holes and string through yarn or ribbon, and poof! They're done!

  4. Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my new blog! I responded to your observation that teachers need to give children directions, on my blog; it was a very good observation.

    Thanks doll,
