Clown Hat Game

Kids create this colorful twist on the classic "pin the tail on the donkey" game. Design your own clown hats and see who gets a hat closest to the clown's head.

1. On large poster board, draw a colorful dancing clown with Crayola® Washable Markers. Make thick lines by drawing with the side of the marker and thin lines with the tip. Add lines around the clown to emphasize its movement. Display the dancing clown on a wall.

2. With markers, design and decorate your own construction paper hats for the clown. Cut out hats with Crayola Scissors. Put a roll of tape on the back.

3. Try to tape your hat on the clown while blindfolded.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"This game was a hit at our backyard carnival. Even toddlers decorated hats (we cut them out for safety)."
Jayne R., family child care provider.

"Birthday parties start on a fun, creative tone with this Clown Hat Game. It's an ideal ice breaker as kids draw the clown together."
Sol B., father of daughters ages 4 and 7.

The first circus clown, Billy Buttons, was created by Philip Astley in England in 1768.
