Step-by-Step Instructions
| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | Roll the Cutout: Take the birthday cap cutout. Gently guide the child to roll it into a cone shape. Use double tape/self-adhesive to secure the edges together. |
| 2 | Decorate the Cap: Ask the child to pick their favourite star stickers. Let them stick the stars on the cap in any design or pattern they like! |
| 3 | Talk About Shapes: While decorating, discuss the 3D shape of the cap. Explain that it is a cone—it has a circular base and comes to a point at the top. Encourage the child to think of other cone-shaped objects like ice cream cones or party hats. This builds understanding of 3D shapes in a fun way! |
| 4 | Attach the Elastic: Attach one end of the elastic string inside the cap, then attach the other end to the opposite side for a secure fit. |
| 5 | Wear the Cap: Encourage the child to wear the cap. Adjust the elastic for comfort and enjoy the birthday spirit together! |
| 6 | Praise Their Efforts: Celebrate the child’s creativity and hard work! Encourage them to show off their cap to family and friends, sharing in their excitement. |
