Craft Stick American Flag

Directions:

Paint the small craft sticks. You will need 2 sticks painted red, 1 stick painted white, 2 sticks half red and half blue and 2 sticks half white and half blue. Let dry.

If you choose to put your flag on a large craft stick, paint the stick grey.

Use the eraser on the unsharpened pencil to dip in white paint to make stars on your flag

Glue the sticks to the thin cardboard by following the picture here for a pattern. Either attach the large craft stick or the pipe cleaner.

Stars and Stripes

Directions:

Start with a sheet of white construction paper.  Cut 1" off of both the short side and the long side of the paper.  Next, cut 1/2-inch strips of red construction paper.  Each child will need 10 strips.  Provide the child with a glue stick and let them glue the red strips onto the white paper.  Trim the edges.

Use the blue tempera paint and a cookie cutter to make as many stars on the paper as you'd like.  Let dry.  (Next, I used a pencil to draw a smaller star inside the cookie cutter star to give the kids an outline to fill in.)  Paint the inside of the stars blue, leaving a gap between the painted star and the cookie cutter star. 

Now, glue the stars and stripes onto a full-sized piece of blue construction paper to frame it out.
