How to make the crown
7 stepsBefore you start
A Children's Day paper crown for kids is a simple craft that makes every child feel like the guest of honour. They colour the crown, write who they are on the band, cut it out and wear it, and then colour one jewel for each thing they are good at.
It comes from the Crown Stall in our Children's Day Fair pack. Print it on thin card so the crown holds its shape, and let a grown-up do the final fitting.
Step 1: Print on thin card: Print the Crown Workshop page single-sided on thin card or a cereal box, so the crown will stand up when it is worn.
Step 2: Colour the crown and strips: Let your child colour the crown and the two plain strips in any colours. Write their name on the line after 'I am'.
Step 3: Cut out all three pieces: Cut along the dashed lines to free the crown and both strips. A grown-up can help with the points.
Step 4: Tape the strips on: Tape each strip to the crown at the tape tabs, so the band is long enough to go round a head.
Step 5: Fit it and tape it: A grown-up fits the crown round your child's head and tapes it closed. It sits on the head, never round the neck.
Step 6: Colour a jewel for each strength: Tick up to five things your child is good at, such as helping or sharing, and colour one jewel for each.
Step 7: Wear it and say one thing: Wear the crown at dinner and say one thing you are good at. Then ask who your child would like to make a crown for next.
