100 days crowns

Yesterday was 100 days of school. One of the activities was to make crowns...The base is called a sentence strip. They are sturdy and just the right size to go around the head.
10 card stock strips were stapled to them. If we did it over, there would have been more spacing between them. A hole was punched into the top of each one.
While they are still flat, the kids went to different stations and added 10 things,
cereal
marshmallows
stickers
punches
paint dots
and books cut from scholastic book orders
The sentence strip was wrapped on each head and stapled so it fit them.
 Then the strips were gathered at the top, and a brad inserted into the holes holding all the strips together....creating the crown.
Everyone was so so happy with the way they turned out.

So cute! Back in the old days we didn't ever count or make a big deal out of the 100th day. I think it's a cool idea.

I always loved the 100th Day events. I love your crowns; wish I had thought of that back then. 10 years of Kindergarten, 8 years of pre-school plus other grades. Kindergarten was the most fun and 100th Day was so great for the kids (and the teacher).
