Create Your Own Police Hat

This is a fun and easy way to make a Police Officer hat.
Print out and color the template (see below).
We colored the template, glued the pieces together and made a band using white paper, and glued the template to the middle of the band.
We then measured the child's heads, and taped the bands so that they fit snugly.

Examine Your Own Fingerprints

To make our fingerprints, we first traced our hands on a piece of white paper.
We then used an ink pad, and made fingerprints on corresponding with the finger outlines.
Once dry, we began our investigation with magnifying glasses.

Make Your Own Firefighter Hat

We painted a paper plate red, and allowed it to dry.
Once dry, we used an exact-o knife to cut out a ring 3/4 of the way around the inside the plate.
Then folded the center up to create the front of the hat.
We then printed out the shields (seen below), colored them yellow, cut them out, and glued one to the front of out hat.
The others we used to make badges and affixed them with rolled scotch tape.
