Craft: Leprechaun's Hat
Our craft was based on the picture at left.  Using the template below, the center was cut out of a paper plate.  A paper belt / buckle was colored and glued to the colored plate.  The center of the hat was then folded up to make into the leprechaun's hat.

Literacy Extensions:
- After reading Which Hat is That?, extend the book by coming up with more riddles for different types of hats asking your child to figure out what the hat's are used for.
- Practice rhyming by asking your child for words that rhyme with hat and cap.
