It has been tradition for many years to make tissue paper hats with our grandparents. I tried to take pictures of each step to share. I believe some of you creative teachers might make these hats out of newspaper - too messy! Some parents even keep the the hats stored away until their child graduates from high school to set out at his/her graduation party.

| Step 1 - two pieces of tissue paper crossed |
 |
| Step 2 - two pieces of newsprint paper crossed |
 |
| Step 3 - two more pieces of tissue paper crossed |
 |
| Step 4 - One person holds the paper over the child's while the other person wraps tape around three times just above the ears. Make sure to tell the students that it will only take a couple of seconds, it will be dark, and you will hear loud crinkly sounds. |
 |
| Step 5 - The grandparents and grandchild decorate the hats together. |
 |
| Step 6 - the students get to wear their creative hats! |
We will have a parade at the end of grandparent's day so all the students will be able to show off their special hats they made with their grandparents.
