15 Creative Wacky Hair Day Ideas For Kids

Yesterday was 'Crazy Hair Day' at Essley's school, and until the night before, I didn't put much thought into what we'd do. I figured I'd just put a bunch of braids in her hair, until I decided to do a quick search for ideas and was blown away by the seriously next level creativity I saw. I was actually really inspired, and ended up doing mini pumpkin buns (which she loved; there may have been a small fight when it was time to wash out the orange hairspray). But there were so many other fun ideas I came across that I decided to put together a list of them for you guys, in case your little ones have wacky hair days coming up at school as well.

• pumpkin buns 
• cupcake buns (two buns sitting on top of cupcake liners; Essley's friend Harper did this.))
• doughnut bun (shape bun into doughnut, cover with felt circle and fake sprinkles)
• unicorn hair (pastel colors and a horn; Essley's friend Livie did this.)
• soda pouring into a cup (google this one; so creative!)
• surfing/wave hair (perfect for short hair; paint hair blue and style in a faux hawk)
• bird nest bun (large doughbut bun with a bird attached)
• garden hair (paint green and add flower barrettes)
• rainbow hair (two buns like clouds with colored pipe cleaners to form a rainbow)
• mermaid tail hair (green or blue braid with a mermaid cut-out attached on top)
• hair bow (hair shaped into a bow and sprayed a bright color)
• spider hair (bun on top with eight braids hanging down)
• dirt hair (spray or paint black and attach rubber insects)
• spiral hair (super easy; attach lots of colorful pipecleaners shaped into spirals)
• birthday cake hair (like cupcake buns above, but with one large bun and a candle inserted)

If you have any other ideas I might have missed, let me know in the comments!
