Quick Video Tutorial to Make Lucky Practice Hat

What you’ll need:

• Free Lucky Practice Hat printed pages (get these when you are signed-up to our Practice Pax Club newsletter). It will be in your inbox in minutes!
• Sign-up on https://practicepax.com
• Toilet paper tube
• Glue, tape, and scissors
• Pencils, straws, or craft stems

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Choose which pages you’ll print, and cut out the pieces: full-color, or on green & yellow paper, or on white paper (that your child can color-in). *Be sure to print “actual size” not fit to page/custom.

2. Glue or tape the rectangle cut-out to the toilet paper roll

3. Cut the slits on the hat buckle and slide it through the band. Glue or tape the band & buckle ~1/2" from the bottom of the toilet paper roll.

4. Glue the circle hat base to the toilet paper tube with hot glue or craft glue.

5. Fold each clover square in half tip-to-tip so if forms a triangle. Fold it in half again to form another triangle. Fold it a 3rd time! This is 3 total triangle folds.

6. Hole the clover triangle from bottom corner with the fold on the left and openings at the top and right side.

Draw a dotted arc and cut it out, starting at the open side and ending at the folded side.

*If you curve down more at the end of your cut, it will make the clovers heart-shaped.

7. Choose what you will use as the stems. Some options are chenille stems, straws, or

pencils.

8. Tape or glue each of the clovers to a stem and get ready to practice!

 

There Are Several Ways to Use the Clovers:

Practice Tasks

Write a practice task on each clover. Then as your child pulls one out, they’ll complete the task. Have them decide how many clovers to choose for a whole practice.

Brief Breaks

Write a brief break idea on each clover  (Like stretch your arms, go for a 60 second walk, or make a funny face in the mirror). After a practice segment is complete, have your child choose a clover.

Combo & Lucky Reward

Write a combination of tasks and breaks. You could even write “lucky treat” on a clover (like a chocolate coin).

 

Happy March practicing!
