Cowboy Party Ideas at Birthday in a Box

Tepee Craft

What You'll Need:

At The Party:

Have the children follow the instructions below to build their own tepees. Use the images below as a reference.

Tie three straws together, about one inch from the top ends, to form a pyramid. Straws that bend at the neck work well because the accordion section gives you a place to tie the straws.
Cut out a tepee pattern from the construction paper, one for each guest. (See image 2 below.)
Curl the construction paper around to form a cone. Tape or glue it together. (See image 3 below.) Use scissors to cut off the top inch of the cone.
Push the straw support up through the hole in the top of the cone. Cut an inch-and-a-half up from the bottom of the tepee, and fold the flaps back to form the tepee's entrance. (See image 4 below.)

Let the children decorate their tepees with markers, glitter glue, etc.
