How to Make a Paper Crown Craft for Kids
Step 1. Draw a zigzag down the center of your colored paper.
You can do this step whichever way you like. You can choose to eyeball it and just draw without measuring. This may be easier if you’re preparing a lot of crowns for your whole class to do. After all, kids don’t always care if things aren’t perfect the way adults do.
However if you want it to be more precise, then use a ruler to make your zigzag.
2. Cut the paper down the line.
Cutting is a wonderful way for preschoolers and kindergarteners to practice their scissor skills. However, if you’re doing this activity with younger children, like toddlers, they may need an adult to do this step for them.
3. Use sticky tape to attach the two sides together.
Turn the two sides of the paper around so that the jagged edges line up, making one very long piece of paper. Then use sticky tape, or a stapler to join the two sides together.
4. Decorate your crown using stickers.
I gave my kids some simple dot stickers and jewel stickers to decorate their crowns with.
You can also use plastic gems and paste to glue jewels to the crown instead. Use what you have on hand or ask your kids what they would like to use. Let your imagination take you in your own unique direction.
5. Make the crown into a circle.
To do this step, first wrap the crown around the child’s head to make sure that it fits. Then use sticky tape, or a stapler to attach the two sides together.
Don’t worry if the zigzags don’t match up completely. It’s more important for the crown to fit and the kids to have fun.
