Craft: Hat
This week's craft is based on the picture above.  The kids were given half a paper plate to decorate with crayons, paper pieces, and sequins.  They then glued on strips of paper in a ring to the back to make it into a hat they could wear.

Extension Activities:
- This Is Not My Hat is about stealing.  Have a discussion with your child about the reasons why we should not take something that is not ours.
- Ask your child to find the hats you have in your house.  Then ask them to sort them by color, size, etc.

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.
