Diego Sun Visor

Create a Diego-inspired sun visor with foam sheets. These rain forest leaves are easy to cut out and glue on.

Join Diego's amazing rescues every day on Nick Jr.

This craft requires extra parent involvement and a watchful eye, because it may require sharp tools or intricate handiwork.

You'll need to allow extra time for glue or paint to dry.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Move with us skills include: gross motor (like running and dancing), fine motor (like tracing and cutting), healthy habits, and safety awareness.

Ages: 4-6

Materials

Yellow craft foam visor, available at craft supply stores
Large sheet of green craft foam for the leaf shapes
Diego Sun Visor Template
Pen or marker for tracing
Scissors
Craft glue
Optional: Clothespins or binder clips; light green craft foam sheet

Tip: We use craft foam visors, but you can use a canvas one if you like.

Directions

Step 1: Make the leaves
On the sheet of green craft foam, have kids trace the leaf templates and cut them out. (Parents may need to help with the leaf indentations.)
Step 2: Glue on the leaves
Glue on the leaves, splaying them slightly as shown. Optional: You can cut out a small light green flower and glue to the top of the leaves as we've done, or leave as is.
Step 3: Let dry
Set aside the visor to dry. If you wish, use clothespins or binder clips to keep the petal and flower center from shifting while the glue is still wet.

Tip: To keep the leaves from slipping as they dry, clip them in place with clothespins or bag clips.
