This 4th of July Hat Craft is a simple, hands-on activity that gives kids a fun way to get into the holiday spirit. The printable includes colorable stars, firework shapes, and a bold “Happy 4th of July” message right on the front. Kids can use crayons or markers to decorate it however they like, making each hat look a little different.
To put it together, just cut out the main hat shape and the two side strips along the solid lines. Then attach the strips to the sides of the hat. Once it’s decorated and assembled, wrap it around the child’s head and tape or staple the ends of the strips so it fits.
It works well for classroom celebrations, family cookouts, or any Independence Day activity where kids want something to wear and show off.
