Silly Hat Day added

Go by your painters store and ask if you can buy a painters hat for your
kids to decorate for school and they will probably just give it to you for
free. Give one hat to each child. Tell your child(ren) that it is
silly hat day on (pick a date) and they can decorate the hat any way they
want. Here are some examples:
Glue: dry beans, buttons, mini micro cars, hard candy, yarn, flowers,
fake bugs, pictures, etc. or use fabric paint and jewels or beads, etc and
just let them go and have fun.

bottom and a tassel at the top is simple to do. Cut out shapes. Have the
children decorate their cap shapes with crayons or paint or by pasting on
scraps of colored paper. Sponge painting. Let them each paste a cotton ball
on the tassel area. While the children are working, talk about the changing
weather and how hats help keep heads and ears warm. The children may make
mittens to match caps.
