What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?

When making this pirate hat, your children will have the chance to practice and develop some skills such as:

  • Cutting Skills – if you feel they’re ready, you can let them have a go at cutting out the pieces all by themselves – they’ll need to be careful and have good scissor control if they want to cut out the headband neatly
  • Pencil Control – if you print off the black and white version they can practice their pencil control and develop hand strength through coloring.

And when they’re done, they’ll also be able to use their imagination, story telling and social / communication skills when going on magical adventures with friends and family!
