With 4th of July approaching I wanted to do something fun with my kids. I read them America is......
What a beautiful book, I actually cried reading it to them.
Afterwards I took star, United States, flag cookie cutters and a top to the laundary detergent that had a spiral pattern and had them dip them in red and blue tempra paint and press the Patriotic cookie cutters on cardstock.
See the spiral pattern I thought it would look like fireworks once they pressed in paint and stamped on the paper. I have been holding a few of these laundary tops for months trying to figure out what we would use them for because of the cool pattern.

My 3 year old daughter went to town a little bit more than my boys did with this craft but she loves arts and crafts!
This is her artwork.
