American Flag Craft

Our American Flag Craft, made out of paper plates, is a fun, easy, and budget friendly DIY Patriotic craft that you can do with your kids!

Crafting together with your kids is not only a great way to make memories, but it’s also helping them develop different motor skills.

Another reason this craft is perfect to do with the kids is because it doesn’t require any use of glue guns or other complicated machines. You can do this one on the kitchen table, outside, or even while camping.

Looking for a tasty snack to make with the kids while working on this patriotic craft? Our American Flag Snack, made out of graham crackers, is so good and it’s really easy to make! Plus it is a kid-friendly recipe! Another yummy recipe to make, that will require parent assistance, but is so worth it, is our Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundaes!  These individual bites of warm and gooey goodness are simply perfect!

This Hello Summer Popsicle Sign is also a fun craft. You can have the kids help pick out the colors and even paint the sign.
