Independence Day Wreath

This is a great project to do with young children to celebrate the 4th of July because after all the pieces are cut, they can do it independently. As much as I love creating art with my daughter, sometimes it's great for them to have that independence.

Materials:

• Paper plates
• Red, white and blue stars cut from construction paper
• Ribbon for hanging
• Glue
• Glitter (optional)

Directions:

• Cut out the center of the paper plates.
• Supply children with red, white and blue stars that are cut from construction paper. Older children can do the cutting themselves.
• Let children glue the stars onto the paper plates "wreaths
• Hole punch the top of the paper plate and add ribbon, so your children can proudly display their wreath.
