You know how it's really tricky to make a properly-fitting oak tag crown? It seems like no matter how carefully you measure the wiggly child's head, the crown is either too big (and falls down to the kid's ears) or too small (and perches precariously on the very top of said kid's head, constantly falling off).

Well, Israelis have it figured out. See the crown BSM came home with on Friday? (The class had a mini-Simchat Torah celebration, which I think is super-adorable.)

That's right, ladies and gents. By folding back the ends of the Bristol board (or whatever you want to call that heavier-than-construction-paper stuff they use to make crowns in pre-school) and inserting two rubber bands into the pockets created by the folded ends, BSM's teachers made a paper crown with elastic.
