Introduce kids to Frida Kahlo, the Mexican artist painter, with the help of our simple Frida Kahlo paper hat craft. The printable template comes with many printing options, making this craft great for kids of all ages, from preschool, kindergarten and older kids.
There are so many opportunities to use our Frida Kahlo paper hat craft throughout the year, in the classroom or at home.
You can explore Frida Kahlo and her artwork during Hispanic Heritage Month in September or Women’s International Month in March. Discover her through art projects, books and fine motor skills activities and Mexican crafts.
Kids can make the Frida Kahlo paper crown for Day of the Dead. Perfect for a Dia de los Muertos party at school or a home celebration, this craft can be made by both kids and adults. Depending on the age of the crafter, choose the printing options that is most appropriate. You may want to precut the accessories (flowers and earrings) for little kids.
