Back to school time is exciting but it can also be met with some nervousness for both children and parents. My daughter is starting first grade this year and that means she will be bringing a lunch to school for the first time and attending school all day.
It’s going to be quite a change for her [and me] so I want to be prepared to ease her nerves the first day of school by helping her have the best first day of school! Surprisingly that’s an easy task thanks to our printable back-to-school crowns.
Supplies Needed:
- Back-to-school crown printable, printed on cardstock <— Download the crown printable here.
- White construction paper (9”x12”)
- Markers
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Craft jewels
- Tacky Glue
Instructions:
1. Print & cut out template
Gather your supplies. Print out the back-to-school crown printable on colored cardstock. Cut out the crown. You’ll also need to cut out a 2-inch strip from your white construction paper for the back of your crown.
2. Color the letters
Use your markers or crayons to color in the letters of the crown.
3. Decorate with craft jewels
Glue craft jewels at the top of your back-to-school crown with tacky glue.
4. Connect your crown ends
When your glue has finished drying, staple one end of the white construction paper strip to one end of the crown. Place the crown around your child’s head to measure how much length you need of the white construction paper. Cut off any excess of the white construction paper and then stample it to the other end of the crown closing it shut.
You back-to-school crowns are finished!
Kids will enjoy wearing their crowns before school but you can also continue the fun after school by having them wear them when they get home while they tell you all about their awesome first day of school.
