Stars and Stripes!

June 14th is Flag Day in the United States
Here are two fun flag crafts!

Gather your materials. For this flag on the top you will need some white paper, blue construction paper, a sponge, red and white paint and scissors.
Cut the sponge into a long strip and a star. As you can see the star doesn’t need to be perfect!
Cut a small square out of the blue construction paper.
Using the white paint sponge paint white stars on the blue paper. Set aside.
Using the long sponge and red paint paint red stripes onto a white paper.
Glue the Blue paper onto the red and white one and voila you made a cool flag!

Gather your materials. For this flag you will need some white paper, a white crayon , blue and red paint and a paint brush.
Using your white crayons draw lots of long stripes, leaving the area for the stars blank. Then add the stars. This can be hard to do but remember to press hard so that there is a lot of wax.
Carefully paint with blue paint over JUST the stars.
Carefully with red paint paint over the stripes. If the stripes or stars aren’t showing through keep wiping off any extra paint and the crayon should appear.
