Supplies you will need:
3. Glue blue straws onto the carboard
We started by adding school glue onto the cardboard where the blue section with stars would be on the flag and then added our blue straws.
2. Cut straw into pieces
Cut several straws into pieces. Older kids may like to measure the size you’ll need for each section, but preschoolers can just cut the straws however they want and make a design based on their pieces.
4. Glue the rest of the straws onto the carboard
Then we added school glue underneath the blue section and added more straws to the cardboard. Finish your flag by adding glue all over the rest of the cardboard and covering it with your straws. I love how cutting the straws is a great way for preschoolers to get some cutting practice in and how no matter what design the children create with the straws, it still resembles a red, white and blue patriotic craft.
