Craft: Fredbird Hat
A child came in wearing one of these homemade Fredbird (St. Louis Cardinals' mascot) hats in 2011 during the postseason run. I immediately asked to take a picture knowing that we would make the craft someday. It finally fit into one of my story time themes. The head is made from a 8-1/2" square of red paper with black eyes and a yellow beak glued onto it. Strips of red paper were glued to the back to make the hat band. It was a very cute and very popular craft with the kids and adults.
Literacy Expanders:
- List foods with your child that are red.
- Talk about words that sound the same but mean different things (i.e. - red and read, their, they're and there, etc.)
