What you'll need:

How to make it:

  1. With the permanent marker, write the child's name on the cap.
  2. Using the permanent marker, add the "name" of number of your group, including Pack number. (Note: Hats do get lost!)

  4. Using the glow-in-the-dark paint, paint stars or aliens on the hat.
  5. Sprinkle glitter on the paint while wet.
  6. Let dry.
