It’s always fun to work with collages when we’re studying a certain concept. A collage of shapes, collage of numbers and other things that we can think of. However, it can also get boring if we just keep doing the collage over and over again without adding any twists. So for our lesson on triangles, we decided to make a triangle hat!

I honestly thought at first that it wasn’t going to be a cute activity. I thought it was too simple. But that day, the kids taught me that simplicity is beauty. We don’t need to get too complicated when it comes to art, the important thing is that we have fun!

.

What you will need:

  • Large paper for the hat
  • Triangle shapes
  • Glue
  • Scissors

.

.

Step 1: Cut out a large circle for the hat and make a slit up to the center

.

Step 2: Twist the circle by the slit to make it a hat

.

Step 3: Let the children glue on the triangle shapes

.

.

Step 4: Voila! Your triangle hat!
