Paper Towel Roll American Flag
We did a flag similar to this one back on Flag Day a few months ago. For the 4th of July we made an American Flag. Our flag doesn't have the correct number of stripes on it, but we did count out 50 glitter glue stars.
Flag Supply List: 1 paper towel roll, red, white & blue construction paper, glitter glue, glue stick, packing tape
Glue a blue piece of construction paper into the corner of your white flag. Cut red strips of paper and glue those down. Use your glitter glue to put 50 stars on your flag. Allow to dry.
Once your flag is dry you can use the packing tape to secure it to your paper towel roll.
Book Suggestion: The American Flag is a great non-fiction book that goes through tons of facts about our American Flag. It was fun to read through all the different facts with Cole.

Paper Towel Roll Flag {Flag Day}
Happy Flag Day! Here's an easy little craft to help celebrate the birthday of the American Flag.
Flag Supply List: 1 paper towel roll, sheet of construction paper, packing tape, scrap paper, glue, scissors
Cut strips of paper from your scraps and glue them down on your large sheet.
Use your packing tape to adhere the paper to the paper towel roll.
Wave your flag all over the house! We loved this craft and it was simple and required little drying time. It would be a great activity to do with a large group of kids. I think we might adapt it to create an American Flag for the 4th of July.
Book Suggestion: We checked out F Is For Flag at the local library and it was a great find. Flags are everywhere, but this book talks about how a flag can have many meanings.
