 How to make a child’s hat couldn’t be simpler but with a creative kid involved the results are super fun and oh so stylish!
This idea is inspired by one of our favourite books: Millie’s Marvellous Hat by Satoshi Kitamura. The book is about a little girl who longs for a beautiful hat but has no money to buy one. It’s a tale of imagination, positivity and overcoming problems. It also features the most wonderful illustrations of fabulous hats. We couldn’t read it without creating our own marvellous hat!

I’m heading off down memory lane with this post today, as I used to make these kind of heart gift bags from paper doilies when I was a child. They are super easy to make, so the children can pretty much make them themselves. And they’re quite quick to make too, so if you’re planning on sharing any Valentine’s gifts with nieces and nephews or even a whole class of kids they won’t take too long. Plus they are a really good way to make use of your children’s art and turn it into something special. You could even make some yourself in secret as surprise goodie bags for your children.
