Kindergarten Circle Time Cape

I remember in grade school wanting to be the person at the front of the class. The kid that got to say the days of the week, or count how many days of school there have been, or predict the weather for the day. A.K.A. "teacher's pet". This cape would have made that job even more coveted!




With just 2 months left in the school year, I finally got around to making my son's Kinder class a cape similar to the Weather Wizard cape.
I made it reversible with ABC's so that it could be used for their Calendar/Circle Time too!

Weather Wizard

This idea came from a super cool Elementary School teacher - a Weather Wizard Cape!



I love getting custom orders that are really unique ideas - something I've never seen before.



These capes will be worn by little Kindergartners during Calendar/Circle time. Children take turns identifying the weather for the day by putting on one of these capes and becoming the "Weather Wizard" - cool huh!?!



Maybe I'll have to make one for my Kindergartner's class now!



Here are some tips to recreate this cape:
I used my Cricut to make a template for the star shape and the "W" in George Basic Shapes size 5 1/2".
I made a circle template for the yellow, using a bowl. For the Cloud, I just drew a cloud shape that matched the clouds on the fabric and stitched around it to mimic the swirls.
"Sewable Fusing" was used before stitching around the shapes.
