100th Day of School
A 100th day crown that fits a real kindergarten head
A crown is the fastest 100th day costume: no sewing, no shopping and no argument about what to wear. This maker prints two crown strips with a big 100 and the child's name, in six designs. Cut both strips on the dotted lines, tape the short ends together and overlap the back to fit. Print on plain paper for a coloring activity or card stock for a crown that survives the parade.

100th Day Crown
A star-tipped crown with a big 100 medallion and a name plaque. Print on card stock so the points stay up.
Classroom tools
One page per child, with an editable parent letter for the 100 things project.
Up to 40 names. One page per student, using the design and style above.
0 student pages + 1 letter page.
Every single printable is free. Classroom sets and the parent letter are free during the launch preview, then use the paid seam when credits are enabled.
What is on the page
The page has two crown strips, each about 8 inches wide and 3.5 inches tall. Both strips have a row of points, a pattern of stars or shapes and a bold outline; one carries the big 100, and the other carries the name plaque. The cut lines are marked with a dotted border, and the assembly instructions are printed at the bottom of the sheet. Both strips are line art by default, with thick outlines and no shading, so crayons and markers stay inside the lines and a school printer produces a clean page.
Print, cut and tape in five minutes
Print on US Letter portrait at 100 percent. Cut out both strips on the dotted lines. Tape the short ends together to make one long band, then wrap it around the child's head and overlap the ends at the back until it fits. Add a small piece of tape on the inside seam so the overlap does not catch on hair. If the band is too short, print a second copy and use one extra strip. Fold the points forward slightly so they stand up instead of flopping. A glue stick is not strong enough for the seam; use tape or a stapler.
Fit it without a meltdown
Wrap the taped strips around the head and overlap the ends at the back until the crown fits. If it is too tight, print a second copy and add one strip; if it is too loose, overlap more. For a class, cut the strips first and let children color the points while you tape. If a child has a sensory aversion to things on the head, offer a headband or a paper visor instead of a full crown. For a wiggly line-up, tape the crown to the child's hair with a small piece of painter's tape; it holds without pulling.
Six designs to choose from
| Design | Best for |
|---|---|
| Stars | A classic 100th day crown; easy to color |
| Gems | A bright, sparkly look; good for a photo booth |
| Balloons | A birthday-party feel; great for a hallway parade |
| Dinosaurs | The dinosaur-loving half of the class |
| Rainbow | Color-by-number or color-by-pattern practice |
| Sports balls | A team or field-day theme |
Every design keeps the 100 large and centered, with the name on a plaque on the second strip. The design is decoration, not a character, so it prints the same on a school laser printer and a home inkjet.
Ways to decorate and personalize
Crayons are enough. For a brighter crown, use dot markers on the points, stick on 100 tiny stickers, or color a pattern of tens: ten stars, then ten dots, then ten stripes. The name plaque can hold a first name, a nickname or 'Room 12'. If the class is making crowns for a photo, choose one design for everyone and let each child pick a color. If the crowns are going home, write the child's name on the back of one strip as well, because the front name can be hidden by hair.
Printing a class set
Every crown is free during launch, and the class-set layout prints one sheet per child from a name list. Each sheet has both strips, so a class of 20 needs 20 sheets, not 40. Print the sheets first, then cut and tape at the tables. Card stock makes a sturdier crown but takes longer to cut; plain paper is fine if the parade is indoors. Pre-cut the strips the day before and set out tape dispensers at each table. The maker stores the design and name in the page link, so a substitute can reopen the exact crown.
Questions
Is the 100th day crown free to print?
Yes. All six designs are free, with no account and no watermark. You can print one crown or a class set during launch.
What paper should I use for the crown?
Plain printer paper works for a coloring crown. Card stock holds the points up better for a parade or a photo. Both print on US Letter at 100 percent.
How do I make the crown fit?
Cut out both strips, tape the short ends together, wrap the band around the head and overlap the ends at the back until it fits. Print a second sheet and add a strip if the band is short.
Can I add the child's name?
Yes. Type the name in the maker and it appears on the name plaque. Leave it blank if the child wants to write it, or if you are printing a set for a substitute.
Can I print a crown for every student?
Yes. Print one at a time for free, or use the class-set layout to paste a name list and print one sheet per child. Each sheet has both crown strips. Everything is free during launch.
