Here’s another printable craft for your little learners, some simple witch hat craft templates – perfect for some DIY fancy dress this Halloween!
These templates are a great chance to develop some cutting skills, as well as some pencil control and creativity if you go with the plain template!
Like most of the crafts here at Nurtured Neurons, there’s a pre-colored template for quick paper crown making, or a plain one if your want to get a bit more creative!
And a super thing about these types of crafts is not only are they great fun to make and your children can practice lots of skills when doing so, but then you have a toy they can play with at the end – and play is just such a great way for children to learn!
Win win!
They’d be a super activity at a Halloween party or in the classroom!
And if your little ones can’t get enough spooky learning at the moment (and who’d blame them!), they may also enjoy this build a witch craft or witch’s potion number matching game.
What Skills Can Your Children Learn And Practice?
When making this awesome headband, 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 paper crown 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 spooky adventures with friends and family!

Other Materials You’ll Need:
- Safety scissors
- Card stock or craft paper
- Some good glue or a stapler
- Some coloring pencils or pens / other artsy materials for decorating
Once you’ve downloaded the templates, you’ll need to print them off onto paper or card.
Then, you can cut them out. Or if you’d like your children to get some cutting practice, you can let them have a go.
Then you simply need to cut the bands to the right size (I’ve included an extra sheet of bands so there’s plenty).
Then either stick or staple them into a loop to fit your child’s head.
Sorted!
There’s also a plain witch hat template:
So your little learners can decorate their paper crown just as they’d like it.
