Jester Hats

Need: Paper Plates, Scissors, Paint, streamers
Directions: Using a paper plate you cut 6 lines like your cutting a pizza. Do NOT cut through to the rim. The plate will have cuts in the center that will look similar to a pizza slice that will allow you to place the plate onto the child’s head like a crown. When you place the plate on the child’s head the points will stick up like a crown. I think these could pass as jester hats of a sort. Paint them with purple, green & gold colors which are Mardi Gras colors. You could also staple long streamers using the same colors around the hats just to make them fun.
