With the Fourth of July just around the corner, I thought it would be fun to make some kid crafts to celebrate our beautiful country. I found a fun blog via Pinterest that we got the ideas for today's projects from. You can click
here to find them.
We started with the little boys painting some fireworks. The idea is to made a pipe cleaner in the shape of a fire work and then dip it once in paint and then stamp it onto your paper. Von-Bon caught right on to the concept. PQ though, didn't quite get it. He did have a great time painting, either way. Here is what I mean:

After the painting portion of our day had concluded, we moved on to the patriotic paper lanterns. They were pretty simple to cut out and assemble, but placing the stars turned out to be some serious work; the boys were very particular about how each star looked...it was pretty cute. They even got super creative and layered some too. The punch I used cut an inner solid star, with an outer outline of a star. They meticulously mixed and matched colors. If only they showed this much attention to detail while cleaning the bathroom! ;) PQ climbed up on my lap to help me cut.
