Community Helper Hats
Do you dream of being a firefighter or police officer? Would you like to honor their courage and hard work? Make a community helper hat to wear today.
1. What community helpers do you admire? Firefighters, police officers, utility and construction workers, and mail carriers? Most community helpers wear hats. Where you live, what colors do they wear? Are there badges on their hats? These directions are for a firefighter hat. You can change them to make whatever hat you choose.
2. Cut most of the way around the inner circle of a paper plate with Crayola® Scissors. Cut the hole in a size to fit on your head. Fold the circle up for the front of your hat.
3. Cut out the center of another paper plate. Cut part of this circle in the shape of a front insignia or badge. The rest of the cut pieces could extend the brim and back.
4. Use Crayola Metallic FX Crayons to decorate insignias, badges, buckles, or other shiny parts of your hat. Color the rest of the hat with Crayola Crayons and your markers.
5. Glue the pieces together with Crayola School Glue. Let your hat air-dry and you’re ready to work!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Costumes & Masks—
CAUTION: When children wear hand-crafted costumes and masks, make sure the crafts do not obstruct the child’s vision, hearing, or impede movement. Do not use feathers, fabric, or raffia on wearable costumes and masks because these items do not pass costume flammability tests. Wearable masks are those held in place on the face with elastic, yarn, or other materials. Keep away from open flames.
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.
