Stroll through any small town in the US and you’ll very likely find decoration that shows their American pride. We are, after all, very proud of our heritage for the most part. Patriotic decor are especially popular around Memorial Day, the fourth of July, and in November for Veterans Day.

If you’re the crafting type, you may have even made a few American Flag crafts or another patriotic craft before and I am sure you proudly display them in your home.

Most kids love 4th of July celebrations as much as adults do so having a few DIY crafts for preschoolers and other school aged kids is a great idea! Now only do they get the fun of creating something they can be proud of, but easy crafts also help strengthen their fine motor skills.

This simple American flag craft is the perfect way for little hands to show their patriotism and have a great time at the same time!

Are You Shopping with Rakuten?

These days none of us can afford to spend more money than we need to. Finding new ways to save money is important. That’s why I want to make sure you are shopping with Rakuten. Rakuten is a cash back shopping app that literally pays you to shop at thousands of online and brick and mortar stores! They have a special relationship with the retailers they work with that allows them to pass a portion of their profits back to you as cash back! This can be a fantastic way to lower how much your out of pocket cost is when you shop! Rakuten pays by Paypal or check once a quarter. Plus, when you create a Rakuten account, you’ll score a bonus when you make your first transaction. You can’t beat free shopping! The bonus varies during the year so don’t wait! Get the best bonus now instead of later! Create your account and shop now!

What Ages is this Button Flag Craft for?

Kids of all ages! Seriously! Anyone can have a blast creating a button flag just like other 4th of July crafts! I do want to issue a word of caution in very small children. If you’re going to be crafting with toddler aged or other young children, keep a good eye on them as this craft does include buttons.

I would also suggest pre-painting the white background for smaller kids although that age may really have fun messing with the paint on their own! If you do decide to allow them to do the painting themselves, investing in a couple of kids art aprons like THESE can help protect their shirt for this and future art projects.
