Back to School | First Day of School | Headband, Hat and Crown!
This back to school or first day of school hat, headband and crown is the perfect way to celebrate with all your new students. There are six different designs that students can put together for these amazing hats. Lots of images to choose from and to color and there is even a place for them to write their name and proudly display their hats for other students to see and for parents at pick up time.
Assembly is very easy. After choosing a design for the hat / headband, choose a design for the wrap around headband. Students will then color the designs, write their name, and then cut out their hat / headband. Teachers will then staple the main hat to the headband sections as they measure them around the students and then staple them together around their heads.
Don't forget to take a class photo of your proud students as they display how excited they are to wear their hats!
