Mother’s Day is a special time in the school year. I always try to invent a special craft activity so that the kids can surprise their Mom. It’s always a pleasure to see how hard they work to make their gift as beautiful as possible.

A little hat is an easy craft that allows for a lot of creativity. It starts with a paper bowl and the kids can make it as sophisticated as they want.

Here are some sample pictures for inspiration.

And this hat can be more that just a decoration! If you want, it can be filled with potpourri so that Moms can hang it in their closet.
