I used a large piece of fun foam and curled it to make a cone to fit
child's head. Trim off excess. Hot glue to edges together to hold
cone shape. Use other scraps of fun foam to cut out various
celestials shapes (stars, moons, etc) and glue them on the hat. Use
glitter glue to create swirls, lightening bolts, etc for added
effect. Any sequins, bits of old sparkly jewelry bits, buttons etc
for extra embellishments.

Make an owl out of craft foam. Use pipe cleaners for the feet,
curling front toes under. Use the claws to hold small scrolls.
Friends and family can leave messages to the owner of the owl. The
owl can also be 'sent' to someone the owner wishes to to send a
message to."

"Put baking soda in a small container labeled 'Powdered Horn of
Unicorn'. Color some vinegar green with food coloring and label 'Sap
of the Whomping Willow'. Put the 'unicorn horn' in a little place
caldron then add the 'Sap'. If you put in a little dish soap, it
would look even better (Add this after the baking soda). The dish
soap could be called 'Flobberworm Slime'. Once the vinegar is added,
the contents will appear to ""boil"" out of the cauldron. A great
way to incorporate science into a craft.

Make a quill pen from a feather and practice penmanship with food
dyes. Take time to make bubble solution and pipe cleaner wands. My
kids started a Harry Potter Club and made paper dolls of each
character. They even wrote a play and preformed in costumes. The
possibilities are endless. We even created a journal from brown
paper bags to use as a playbill."
