Celebrate this Fourth of July Ellis Island style with a Statue of Liberty headband. First, cut 2 1/2 inches from each of the bottom rims of two sturdy paper plates, then cut out their centers, leaving a 2-inch-wide headband (this fits most children's heads snugly, but if it's too tight, carefully trim more away from the edge).

Next, cut six triangles from green construction paper. Each one should measure 4 inches across and 9 inches high. Space these evenly across the front of one headband with the points radiating outward and staple into place. Glue the other headband across the first to conceal the staples. Fashion a torch out of a toilet-paper tube, poster board and yellow tissue paper. Touch up both to look like Ms. Liberty's crown and torch. Paint them green, then "oxidize" with glitter.
