DAY 3: EGYPTIAN HEADBAND

One thing I learned while doing my research (and by research I mean watching Elizabeth Taylor's Cleopatra), is that the Ancient Egyptians definitely had style.  I mean, come on, they were rocking heavy eyeliner and stacked bracelets before it was cool. Today we impart some of that inborn sense of style to your little one; courtesy of fantastic craft form First Palette, they're making their own Egyptian headband. 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• A4 or Letter size printable cardstock
• Printer
• Crayons or any water-based paint
• Scissors
• Glue
• Paint brush
• Rhinestones, sequins, glitter (optional)

1. Choose one these black and white Egyptian headband templates.  They also have them in color, but those aren't nearly as much fun to color in.

2. Let your little one go wild coloring it in with whatever colors they like!  

3. Once they're finished, cut out the three headband template pieces.

4. If you've opted to add a bit of sparkle, use the glitter and rhinestones now to really make it shine.

5. Let it dry completely, then glue it together so your little one can try it on!
