Today is Flag Day! Mason heard about it at school and was very excited to show me his paper flag. Marlee expressed an interest in having a flag, too, so Mason led a craft activity before breakfast. He just got out a blank sheet of paper and counted and drew the stripes, then added stars. I got out a couple of straws and pinched the end of one so it would nestle into the end of the other. Then I used a piece of packing tape to secure the "pole" to the flag. Marlee is so pleased! Mackenna had to make one all by herself, so it's a pretty loose interpretation of the flag, but that's OK. Maia called Kenna "Little Betsy Ross." Anyway, this could be a great activity for the 4th of July with glitter on the stars adding a nice touch. As Maia hums The Star Spangled Banner I am thinking this little impromptu craft is a real hit!
