the Perfect Beach Hat

This morning was D's moving up. He's no longer the biggest Yellow Bird at Beach School. Now he's the biggest Red Bird (and the Bean is the littlest incoming Yellow Bird)
D asked me to make hats for his teachers, (guess where the color scheme came from).

we used a cute squirrel print for the hat sides, since there are ground squirrels all over the campus (and we couldn't find dolfins, bunnies, or birds in the appropriate colors)

I wore my tester hat.

D was Robin Hood. obvi.

each child also got a little felt bird, yellow on one side, red on the other, with the date embroidered on, to commemorate their time at Beach School.
