The materials required to make this hat are construction paper (red and white), glue, poster board, and tape or stapler. First, cut a piece of white construction paper into strips that are about 2 m² × 8.5 km2. Then cut a two-inch strip from the poster board that is as lengthy as you want to fit your head. Paste few white strips onto a piece of red construction paper. Try to keep equal spaces between strips, and leave nearly two inches of red at the bottom edge, hence you can cut it to appear like a brim. Allow the glue dry for few minutes. Once it is dry, cut it into a hat-like shape. Glue or staple the bottommost center of the hat onto the poster board strip's center. Once you haveattached to the hat band, attach the strip's band ends together using tape or stapler to fit closely around your forehead.

Preschool Activity-Cutting Shapes and Lines

Cutting with scissors is a learned activity. By three years old your child should have no problem holding a pair of child-sized scissors. It takes them awhile to master this new skill, however, so be patient with them while they begin to show an interest in learning how to do it.

Preschool Activity-Cutting Shapes and Lines

Purchase your child a pair of his own scissors. If your child is left-handed, make sure the scissors can be used by either left-or right-handed children. Many scissors can be used by both.

Let your child try to cut with the scissors, and encourage him to cut the best he can. It may take awhile for him to get the hang of it. My boys were four years old before they could hold a pair of scissors and cut with them correctly.

After your childhas learned to cut with his scissors, it's time to practice cutting shapes and lines. This activity helps your preschooler master his cutting skills so he can move on to cutting out shapes for his own craft projects.

Have your child start cutting lines. Simply use a ruler to draw several lines on a piece of paper, and then have your child try to cut on the line. It will probably take awhile for your child to get the hang of it, but after he catches on he will be so proud of his new accomplishment. After lines, he is ready to move on to wavy lines, ovals, and then, finally, circles.

Preschoolers love this cutting activity. One of my sons spent at least an hour two days in a row "cutting out shapes I had drawn for him. He was so excited he could cut on the lines that hewanted to cut them out over and over again.

Another skill that can be practiced with this activity is tracing. Before your child cuts out the shapes, have him first trace them with a pencil. This is also a skill that takes time to learn and that your child will enjoy trying to master.

Children enjoying learning things. Open up a whole new world for your child by teaching him something as simple as using a pair of scissors.
