Memorial Day is next week & the Fourth of July is quickly nearing as well.

For the next few months, we will be all things red, white & blue. We just purchased a ton of canvas & had the perfect project for the upcoming holidays.
The Fourth Of July is just a few weeks away. It is time to break out our red, white & blue paints & paper and begin our patriotic crafting. We decided to make Uncle Sam hats today. I told Mai a brief story about The 4th of July & showed her a picture of Uncle Sam with his hat.
Mai is still operating with one hand, but still wanted to try to paint a little.
What you will need:
Dixie cups
Acrylic paint
Construction paper or foam
Elmers glue or Hot glue (adults operate)
Directions:
Paint the Dixie cups in white & let them dry.
Paint red stripes vertically over the white.
Cut a thin blue strip of paper for the hat band & paint in white stars across the strip.
Cut a red circle for the brim. Glue the cup to the center of the circle.
Glue the blue band around the cup over the brim. Let the glue dry & display your patriotism around the house or classroom.
