Craft
“Duck Caps”
For younger children, this craft requires a higher level of assistance, especially for the assembly. For the Pajama Storytime (ages 3-7), the pieces were pre-cut, pre-assembled, and instructions re-numbered and revised. Although, this duck cap was difficult for the young participants, the kids enjoyed creating something that they could wear. This craft idea is from Spacestation 42 dot com.
Supplies
Preprinted cardstock or paper
Tape
(optional) crayons
scissors
How to make them
As mentioned above, this craft will require pre-assembly. First print out the template from the link above. There is a full color option or a black and white option. For storytime, I used the black and white option printed on yellow and orange cardstock. The pieces were pre-cut and scored at the folding lines; sometimes, the younger children have difficultly folding cardstock. They colored the eyes and top of the duck’s beak. Finally, accompanying adults helped the kids tape their hats together. Usually, the adults held the pieces for the kids to tape. It was a great exercise on following directions and teamwork.
