We started by painting wooden craft sticks red with water color paints.
 |
| Big Brother went rogue and started painting sticks blue as well. |
Then we made a pattern with the sticks (Big Brother loves patterns) alternating red, plain, red, plain, and glued them to two supporting craft sticks with Elmer's glue. The kids chose star stickers to place on a blue rectangle that I had prepped.
They glued these in the upper corner of the flag and then added more craft sticks glued together to make a flag pole.
I was impressed with how much they enjoyed the project, how well both Sis at age three and Big Brother at age five were able to complete it, and at how sturdy the finished product was. I was a bit skeptical about using simple Elmer's glue, but the kids played with them throughout the day without tragedy.
