American Flags (In honor of Presidents Day)
Small Group Activity
Materials: white, red, and blue construction paper (1 sheet each), glue, scissors, white paint, small paper plate for paint, and pencil with eraser (star eraser if possible)
Directions: Give each child red construction paper and have them cut 7 strips horizontally. Next glue the red strips onto the white paper (red/white/red/white - like the flag). Trace a rectangle shape (5 x 6) onto the blue paper and cut out. Glue the blue rectangle in the upper left hand corner of the white paper (it will cover some of the red stripes). Take the pencil and dip the eraser into white paint (use a thin layer of paint on the plate so it will not drip) and stamp 50 "stars" on the blue square.
Make sure you read a book about the American Flag, such as F Is For Flag by Wendy Cheyette Lewison.
