We love paper hats and have created many throughout the years, for all four seasons and all sorts of different themes.

They are a fun and easy craft for kids that involves coloring, cutting and assembling pieces together.

a simple fall craft: leaf headband for kids

Kids love creating their paper crowns and wearing them. They make great accessories for any outfit.

Our leaf headband is part of a series of 9 fall paper hats that we started last year.

Scarecrows are such a beloved fall symbol. While scarecrows have been originally used to scare birds away from crops, these days they are a symbol of the harvest season and fall. People use them to decorate their houses for the fall season. They are colorful and make a nice seasonal decoration. Our scarecrow paper hat is a perfect fall craft for kids.

This sunflower headband can be used as an autumn craft but it can also be a great spring craft or a flower craft. You may be teaching your students about plant life cycle and our sunflower paper hat could make a nice addition to your lesson.

Mark the beginning of the school year with a fun apple paper hat. You can also use it for an apple orchard visit or just a simple fall craft for preschoolers and older kids.

The leaf headband comes with a simple printable template with a pre-colored leaf as well as a black and white leaf for kids to color.
