The hat comes with several options. The first option is for both hats, and that is to allow the kids to color or print the pieces onto colored paper. You will have the option to do both hats, so that you can save paper and print multiple if printing on colored paper.

This hands-on craft is perfect to incorporate into your fall lessons! Easy to assemble, low-prep, and adorable! Get it for free below!
You also have the option of hat styles. Do you want a sentence strip hat? These are easier to assemble; kids assemble the cooking pot and put it right onto a fitted sentence strip. (If you look closely, you will see the sentence strip on the back.)
The second option is where you make the hat out of gray construction paper. You can slice it to the depth of the pot that you desire and fit it around the student’s heads. The kids will then attach the pot handle and apple.
You will notice the handle between the two hats shown above. You can either let the kids cut out the pot handle or color it in black on both hats. So, you have lots of options in this free download.
