Here are a few fun and festive crafting ideas to help get you started………….
Flag Shirts

How To: Paint your hand (or your child’s hand) with the blue paint. Place hand on the upper left portion of the shirt. Use the red paint and make stripes going from the hand to mimic the stripes on the American Flag. Let dry.
Firework Shirts

How To: Dip the back of the fork tongs into the red paint. Place paint covered fork on shirt forming a circle. Dip another fork in the blue paint. Place paint covered fork on shirt forming a circle over the red one to create the look of an exploding firework. Alternate paint and continue making as many fireworks on the shirt as you like. Let dry.
Flag Fruit Kabobs

How To: Wash blueberries and strawberries. Slice the bananas. Make 4 kabobs rotating between strawberries and bananas on the stick.
