Each month is filled with so many fun things to do! We have our national holidays such as
Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween to celebrate as well as the birthdays and
anniversaries in between. Today’s
Playgroup was all about celebrating the months of the year and the birthdays we
all have.
Our
story time told the tale of a birthday cake made by many different fairy tale
characters. During the story the kids
were able to identify the different characters and tell us what their
story was. It was amazing how many
characters the kids could recognize!
For our playgroup craft we made our own birthday Party
hats!
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Paper Plates
-Scissors
-Tape
-Glue
-Yarn
-Anything you want to decorate
or color your hat!
Take a paper plate and make a cut from one
end to the middle of the plate. This
will allow you to bend the plate into a cone for your basic hat shape. Adjust your hat to make it wider to smaller
depending on the size of your head. Then
tape the plate together so it will hold its shape.
Punch or cut two holes at the bottom, on either side of
the hat and thread some string through both sides. That way you’ll be able to
tie the hat under your chin to keep if from falling off your head.
Now you’re ready to decorate! To decorate our hats we used feathers, pipe
cleaners, stickers, crayons, markers and anything else we could find in our
craft box. Get creative and decorate
your hat however you want!
As our snack we made mini cupcakes with whipped topping
for frosting. The kids used some pretzel
sticks as candles and could put in multiple candles to reflect their age! Have fun celebrating the months and the
birthdays we all have!
