Description

Toddler Activities: Personalize a Visor and Keep Cool this Summer. Don't forget the sunscreen. This is also a simple activity for a summer birthday party or beach themed event.
Decorate a foam visor.


Materials

  • Foam visors are available at most craft stores in a variety of colors

  • Foam Stickers (there are all kinds of themes at craft stores: letters, sports, flowers, favorite characters, holidays)

  • Paint Pens (read instructions for safe use)

  • Permanent Paint in a Squeeze bottle (We found pretty colors for under $2 at Crafts stores and WalMart)

  • Foam Stickers or cut outs

  • Small craft items like Buttons or Button Flowers

  • Craft glue if you are using your own foam cut outs or craft items like buttons.

  • pencil for marking

Steps

foam visors to decorate
  • Choose a few different color visors to decorate. Coordinate with clothes or a favorite color.
  • Select your foam stickers.
  • If you plan to write names, have an adult use or assist with the paint pen for proper use.
  • Stick on foam stickers of choice.
  • Add glitter glue for a little sparkle.
  • Embellish with squeeze paint

Tips and Suggestions

  • I marked with a pencil where to put the paint
  • The girls practiced on an extra piece of foam first and I guided them where to put the dots. Flowers are four or five dots, with one in the middle. Hearts are made by writing the letter v very small. Squiggles and dots are the easiest to make.
  • If you choose to add a few items like buttons or sequins, use a craft glue for a secure bond. Don't put too many or it will weigh the visor down.
