Futuristic Hats
What kinds of hats will people wear in the future? Think up your own new shapes and decorative designs with these quick crayon-rubbing toppers.
1. Remove the paper wrappers from Crayola® Metallic FX Crayons.
2. Find several items with interesting textures, such as brick walls, corrugated cardboard, or rubber kitchen mats. Lay a large sheet of construction paper on top of a texture. Rub with the side of the crayon. The texture will appear on the paper in color. Make as many different crayon rubbings as you would like.
3. Write words or outline shapes with crayon to highlight the textures.
4. Overlap the corners of the paper to form a cone-shaped hat that fits your head. Seal inside the seam with clear adhesive tape.
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.
