Summer is nearly here. Pretend play is a great way to keep kids engaged, even the littlest ones, and making these paper animal crowns are a great way to begin.

One thing most of us remember about our childhood is the huge amount of fun we had with our siblings, cousins, and neighbors. In the absence of devices, endless apps, countless TV shows, and sophisticated toys, we relied immensely on our imagination.

Thus, pretend play featured a lot in our childhood games, and we often built up our own costume trunks with old heels Mom tossed away, or a funny-looking piece of carpet that transformed into a mustache!

But just because we’re raising the digital generation, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have to miss out on the fun we had. If your kids aren’t all that into pretend play, then now is the perfect opportunity to kick their imagination into high gear!

And we have exactly what you need with some really cute animal crowns, that even the littlest ones can play with!
