Red and White Striped Hat Craft Activity

This Red and White Striped Hat Craft is the cutest accessory for Read Across America week! Read your favorite book with your students and then have them complete their very own cut and paste hat that they can wear around the classroom. The patterns are kid friendly, easy teacher prep, and are a great way to celebrate a lesson.

What’s included in this pdf:

• A photograph of the craft activity
• Step-by-step directions
• Templates that can be copied directly onto colored cardstock or construction paper and then cut out by students. 
• Labeled templates that can be xeroxed onto cardstock, cut by the teacher, and then traced onto colored paper and cut by students. Labels will include the name of the pattern, the color to use, and how many of each pattern to cut (Ex: Body Cut 1 Red).
