Winter Toque Paper Strip Craft

Winter is such a nice season because you get to cozy up in warm toques and fluffy scarves! My favourite part of winter is bundling up so I just couldn't resist making a toque craft... *giggle*

This craft is very simple and very fun. The paper strips add a neat pattern and allow children to be super creative. Plus... the cotton balls make for a very fluffy toque!

Materials:

• paper & printer,
• colourful construction paper,
• glue,
• scissors,
• cotton balls

Craft Instructions:

• Print out the template or draw your own toque on plain paper. 
• Cut out several strips of colourful construction paper.
  • Try to use at least two colours in order to make a pattern. 
  • They don't all need to be the same width so don't worry too much about making perfect strips. 
• Flip the paper with the toque drawing upside down
  • You can cut roughly around the toque shape to make it easier but don't cut out the template yet
• Use a glue stick to glue the construction paper strips on the toque in a pattern.
• Flip the paper back over so you can see the template line and cut out the toque.
• Now glue the pompom and the brim of the hat onto the pattern part of the toque.
• Using white glue, stick cotton balls to the pompom and brim.
  • You may have to split the cotton balls up into smaller pieces.

Craft Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
