About Me:

I got my start educating in zoos and aquariums. I went to art school and graduated with a degree in graphic design, then joined the aquarium's design team where I worked until I had my two sons. I continue to design while raising my family and feel so lucky to be in a profession I enjoy, combining my two passions.

Headbands

2 French designs and 2 English designs for the K-3 classroom

Making these fun and simple headbands are always a HIT with the littles. A quick no prep activity is just what every teacher needs. Copy, cut and paste. Students can wear these all day on the day of the Solar Eclipse or on the day after. A little sweet tongue in cheek headband!

How to use this:

Set it out as a self-guided activity with materials, pencils, glue sticks, and scissors for students to use.

Create the headbands as a whole class activity and watch as students help each other measure the headbands together.

Teacher assisted for the littles, and you can easily cut and glue (or staple if that is easier).

What's included in this resource:

-1 head band design with 'J'ai survecu l'eclipse solaire 2024"

-1 head band design with 'Je suis sain et sauf apres l'eclipse solaire 2024'

-1 head band design with 'I survived the Solar Eclipse 2024"

-1 head band design with 'I mark myself safe from Solar Eclipse 2024'

Directions:

-Colour the sun rays yellow or leave them white

-Simply cut along the dotted line around the sun rays, then cut the strips for attaching around the child’s head.

-glue each strip to either side of the sun/eclipse shape

What grade level is appropriate?

I personally feel that this resource is ideal for any students from K-2 although those in Grade 3 may love these headbands too!
