[Handmade] A collection of hat ideas made with construction paper

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Hats can be enjoyed in many ways—adding an accent to your outfit, getting into character, or transforming your look.

Here are some ideas for making lovely hats out of construction paper.

Construction paper is easy to work with, making it a great material for kids to use.

It’s also nice that you can freely adjust the size to fit the head, and fine-tune the fit with rubber bands or elastic bands.

Since construction paper comes in a variety of colors, use this article as a reference and try making a wonderful hat!

Angel Land Fukui: “Let’s Make a Pirate Hat”

pirate hat

Thanks to the popularity of pirate-themed anime, pirates are familiar to people of all ages.

So let’s make a pirate hat that parents and children—or even grandparents and grandchildren—can enjoy wearing together.

Fold a quarter-size sheet of construction paper in half, then cut the tip on the side opposite the crease.

The part you cut off at the tip will become the hat’s brim.

For a stylish touch, cut it into a wavy shape.

Fold and shape it so it becomes a three-dimensional hat.

Add decorations like a skull or feathers, and it’s complete.

Pirates may have a scary image, but wearing this hat creates a friendly, cheerful atmosphere.

Wolf hat

[Preschool/Kindergarten] How to Make a Wolf Hat | Easy Construction Paper Craft ✂️ Perfect for Plays and Pretend Play

Wolf hat

Speaking of stories with wolves, there are ones like “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” and “Little Red Riding Hood,” right? Here’s a perfect hat for pretend play featuring a wolf.

We’ll make a bold hat from construction paper that forms the wolf’s face.

The key is to use brown and white sheets back-to-back.

This way, the eye and nose area folds in brown, while the mouth area folds in white.

Once you’ve folded the face, cut the teeth into a jagged shape.

Of course, you can make the teeth from the white part of the paper.

Attach the eyes and an elastic band, and you’re done.

Wearing the wolf hat during tag would make things extra exciting, too!

Make a loop with black construction paper and attach rectangular pieces of yellow or pale orange paper.

Donald’s hat

[How to Make a Donald Cap] 🧢🪿 / construction paper / craft / Donald Duck / handmade / preschool teacher / #shorts #short #shortvideo #DonaldDuck

Donald's hat

Donald Duck is one of Disney’s most popular characters.

He’s adorable in his nautical outfit with a blue hat and blue clothes.

Let’s make a hat like Donald’s using construction paper.

Prepare blue or light blue construction paper cut into a circle and a rectangle.

Add a black stripe to the rectangular piece using construction paper.

Combine the two pieces and attach a ribbon to finish.

On the rectangular piece, make a slit on the side opposite the black stripe; this will make it easier to attach to the circular piece.

With this, you can enjoy Disney character pretend play right at home.
