This Mayflower paper hat is a perfect coloring activity and educational craft for kids to make during the month of November.
An easy Thanksgiving craft that allows children to learn about pilgrims and their journey from England to Massachusetts aboard the Mayflower ship. Teach an important moment of the American history using our craft idea.
This simple craft is a great addition to any classroom setting, as it can be used to teach preschoolers, kindergarteners and elementary school aged kids about the first Thanksgiving and the Mayflower voyage.
A great activity to do with toddlers after telling or reading a Thanksgiving story.
Our Mayflower paper hat comes with a simple craft printable template. Kids will color the black and white template, cut out the patterns and tape everything together. They can also use the pre-colored Mayflower boat for a quick November craft experience at daycare or home.
While we created the Mayflower paper crown as an addition to our collection of Thanksgiving crafts for kids, you can also use the printable during the summer, as a boat craft idea or for a pirate birthday party.
