Cut one piece of poster board into 6 squares (each measuring 8 inches by 8 inches) and 6 strips (each measuring 2 feet by 3 1/4 inches). |

Make a series of V-shaped marks in each strip. The V-shaped notch should go about halfway through the strip. |
 |
Cut out the V-shaped notches in the strip.
Fold the strip in half (along the dotted line). |

Form the strip into a circle with the notched part facing into the circle. Adjust the size to fit the child's head. Glue the ends to form the hat band. |
