I’ll contact the randomly chosen winner by email for your mailing address.Waking up one day in a very grumpy state, Elephant's mood is considerably improved by the arrival of a package containing some fun hats. It’s vaguely child-sized the top hat opening measures about six inches across.Ĭomment on this post and tell us who you’d give this hat to wear for a chance to win!Ī birthday girl or boy? A classroom helper? Do tell! We had so much fun with the little details: ribbon, cut paper, washi tape, and twine. The top cone-shaped party hat is straight from Meri Meri, only we added a feather to the top. As this project’s been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks, I’ve peered in on that nest a number of times to peek at those pretty eggs.Īnd another hat surprise! Say hello to panda underneath the coned shaped hat! She’s queen of that stripes on stripes cap. The nest is raffia and the eggs are felt balls. Yup, there’s a bird’s nest hidden inside and you can only see it if you peep through the hole on one side. So we kind of combined them and stuck a straw and bird on ours. We were inspired by the cup holder sticking out of elephant’s hat and the bird cuckoo-ing from the other side. With lots of little details hidden around! Come see. I recently won a fabulous party supply giveaway from Meri Meri through Design Mom, so we invented ways to use those supplies, gathered stuff from around our apartment, and took one quick trip to the 99Cents store. I was inspired to make a crazy fun whimsical hat to hooray for after reading Hooray For Hat! So with major help from my guy, davishandmade, we did! And we’re giving it away to one reader of This Picture Book Life! It’s not exactly the hat that solves everything (though hats are awesome). For the way that original stacked-up-amazing hat appears in a box at elephant’s door without explanation. For its perfect design and beautiful type.


For the way it celebrates the true uplift of friendship and kindness. I love this picture book for its pops of color. What helps every single one dump the grumps? A hat! From a friend! It’s practically the definition of joy.Įach animal character starts out in a grumpy mood, signified by a black scribble above his head. Ever been grumpy? This book will address that.
