REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Cut a strip of newspaper about one inch wide the whole length of the newspaper. You will use this to measure the size of your loved one’s head. Take the newspaper strip and place it around the inside of one of your parent’s hats. Keep one end still with your thumb and cover the band part inside all the way around. Tear off any extra paper. This is how long your crown will need to be to fit your parent.
  2. Cut the cardboard box apart into panels. Lay the two big panels next to each other with their “short sides” touching. Use your “newspaper ruler” to measure how long the crown needs to be. Trim off any extra length.
  3. Cut another piece of newspaper about five inches wide, then fold it about three inches over. Continue to fold the paper into three inch sections. When it is all folded, cut a “v” into the top of one of the “short” sides. Open the paper and see your crown pattern! Trace your pattern onto the cardboard and cut it out.
  4. Carefully cover the crown with aluminum foil.
  5. Cut pretend “jewels” out of construction paper and glue them on your crown. You may even want to cut out letters to spell “dad,” “mom,”or “the king” or “queen.” Then glue on sequins or glitter if you have them.
  6. Get a grown-up to help you staple the crown together. Then present the crown…to a beloved adult!
