Hats and Help Please

I know everyone is done with their Dr. Seuss stuff for this year but we made these really cute hats on Friday that I just had to share.  I got the idea from Khrys at Keepin it Kool in Kinderland.  Click HERE to see her hats.  They are ADORABLE! When I saw them I  knew I had to make them since last year I made Cat in the Hat hats and lets just say they were a PROJECT!! I wanted them to be tall but then they wouldn't stand up, so we taped paint stir sticks to the back and then they were heavy and still fell over!!! It was a weeks worth of trying to make them work with no luck.

Now I love her hats with the painted hand Things but after my 100's day hat painting debacle (I won't bore you with the details again but I ended up with paint ALL over my shirt) I had to find a way to make them without the painting!  So here is what I came up with.

I loved Khrys' idea of having them call each other by their thing names so I made the circles to put on their hats and my kiddo's LOVED them! They thought it was great to call each other their Thing numbers, I even wore the Thing 1 hat for the day! If you would like to grab a copy of the Thing Hat circles, I have them linked up as a FREEBIE HERE!  I made them through 30, hopefully no one has more than 30 kiddo!
