Sarah's Silks Rainbow Sky Coloring Crown

This dress up crown lets your child colour their very own design, then proudly wear their personalised crown in pretend play. Decorating and wearing it in one activity keeps children engaged, and every finished crown looks a little different depending on who coloured it.

Yes, for extra colouring fun you can turn the crown inside out and draw on the blank side as well. That gives children two surfaces to decorate, so they can revisit the activity and create a fresh design whenever the mood to colour strikes again.

It is made from luminously textured jacquard silk with a stretchy elastic back. The silk has a soft sheen and feels light on the head, while the elastic band lets the crown slip on and off easily and settle comfortably during long stretches of play.

The crown measures twenty one inches around with an elastic band that stretches to fit most heads comfortably. It suits most children from about three to nine years old, and the flexible back means it is simple for a child to put on without help.

Colouring and then wearing the crown encourages open ended play that supports cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. The simple act of designing something and using it in a game builds focus and confidence, while leaving plenty of room for a child's own imagination.

Once coloured, the crown suits any character a child invents, from fairies and dragons to birds, bugs and bats. Because the play is open ended, the crown never fixes them into a single role, so it supports many different stories and games over time.

Yes, colouring a crown makes a lovely hands on activity for birthdays and get togethers, and children can wear their finished design for the rest of the party. It combines a craft and a costume in one, which keeps young guests happily occupied.
