Patriotic Art

Ahhh, red white and blue.  The kids are learning about the American flag.  Throughout the summer I am hoping that they will take notice of the flags that are flying as we embark on our summer adventures.

Meanwhile- we continue to use our newspaper.  We are creating star pillows again. They looked so great last year that I couldn't resist.  Staple two shapes of newspaper together, leaving enough room to stuff it with newspaper scraps.

Staple a pipe cleaner into place and twist the end up to keep it from slipping out from underneath the staple.

Now it is ready to stuff!

Once stuffed, staple the rest of the shape closed, and paint.  Don't forget to flip it over and paint the back, too.

I love the stripes- she was so creative. ♥

We hung then on the outdoor art line to dry.  They are now dangling in the play room in all of their glory.

This is a sign of a great morning. ♥

Here is another fun patriotic project.  We have two resident bald eagles living in a tree by our local lake.  We can see them circling and swooping sometimes.   Happy Tuesday!♥♥
