New Year Name Hat Craft Activity

Are you looking for a fun activity to celebrate the new year that works on name recognition at the same time? This New Year Name Hat Craft is the perfect activity for winter! Students will work on this name writing activity while working on their fine motor skills. It’s easy prep for teachers, great for a student portfolio, and makes one adorable bulletin board!

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).
• Coloring templates (a separate 2 page pdf to send to your students for distance learning)

Here are some fun ways to use the craft:
