Princess for the day!

After reading the princess and the pea story, I thought it might be fun to be a princess for the day, so we made crowns.

What you need:

A4 coloured card (we choose orange to look like a gold crown)

Scissors

Celeotape

Stickers (you could also use colouring crayons or paint or anything that takes your fancy to decorate your crowns)

What to do:

Cut the paper in half.

Measure against the child’s head to ensure there is enough paper to decorate.

Cut a zig zag pattern across one of the long sides of the hat.

Allow the child to decorate how they please, we used glittery star stickers as they looked like jewels on the crown.

Once they have finished and are dry, selotape the ends together to fit around the child’s head.

Then play!

Other ideas

Make witch or wizard hats, by using a piece of A4 paper and making a cone shape of the childs head (will add a blog on this at a later date)

Its great to go through colours and shapes, while doing this activity.  Its also great for role play activities, such as sitting on a throne, riding a horse, knighting people, playing with castles.
