Transforming History: An Adorable Abraham Lincoln Craft for Kids
History is our jam in our homeschool. We absolutely love incorporating beautiful literature and hands-on projects to bring the past to life! One of our favorite presidents to study is Abraham Lincoln. I often get asked by my non-homeschooling friends, aren’t you sad your kids don’t bring home cute little projects? I get to tell them, not only do I get them, I get to choose which ones we want and help make them alongside my children!
While we absolutely love projects and activities, we don’t want expensive, super time consuming, or difficult. This Abraham Lincoln craft for kids is inexpensive, easy, and quick!
From History to Craft: Building an Abraham Lincoln Hat
As I said, this craft is super simple. We are transforming your child into Abe Lincoln himself. The best part is it uses very minimal supplies, most of which you already have on hand! Here’s what you’ll need:
- Our free template
- Crayons or construction paper
- a photo of your child
How to create your adorable Abraham Lincoln craft for kids:
You will simply download and print our free template.
Next, you’re going to either have your kids color the hat and cut it out.
OR
You could also use it as a template. If you want to use it on a template, simply cut the hat and beard out. Trace them onto black construction paper with a white crayon or colored pencil. Then cut the hat and beard from the black construction paper.
Then, they’re going to either directly glue the hat and beard onto their picture.
OR
They could cut out their head and face from their photo, paste it onto a different piece of construction paper. Then, glue the hat and beard on top of that.
That’s it! They have an adorable Abraham Lincoln hat and beard. These are perfect for gifts, keepsakes, or can be used to make history come alive!
