We did a couple more art projects for the 4th of July that I didn't have time to post about last week. You know me and hand-print art...so I couldn't pass up these awesome fireworks. Trace the kids' hands on red card stock or construction paper and glue it onto black. Then use glitter glue to make the sparkles from the fireworks. I don't know about your kids, but mine love glitter glue, and they were thrilled to have a reason to get it out. (BTW, you can buy 6-packs of glitter glue at the dollar store, ya, for a buck.)
Adelia and I teamed up to make one really big firework and two little ones.
We also made these really cool American flags:
I just hot glued 6 jumbo craft sticks together, then helped Ivan and Adelia paint a blue square (Lincoln managed his by himself, his is the bottom left.) And then they painted every other stick red and white. I helped Adelia a lot (ours is the top one), and Ivan did his by himself (bottom right). When the paint was dry we put on silver star stickers. This step is optional, but I decided to glue a little circle magnet on the back of each one; so our flags hang on out fridge. Fun, fun.
