4th of July Banner

The 4th of July is fast approaching and we have been having fun with red, white, and blue crafts.

Today I'm sharing our super easy, limited mess, kid made 4th of July banner.

We used white card stock paper, 4th of July ribbon from the $1 section, 4th of July puffy stickers also from the $1 section, and red and blue dot paint.

I cut the card stock into banner shapes ahead of time. I didn't have a pattern so I had to wing it.

I had the girls decorate half the pieces with the puffy stickers from the $1 aisle at Jo Ann Fabrics.

They loved using the stickers and peeling off the back and they didn't even know it but by doing this they are practicing those fine motor skills!

Once they completed the stickers we brought out the dot paint to decorate the other half of the banner pieces.

When they completed the decorating I used a hole puncher to punch holes in the top corners of the banner pieces and then strung the ribbon through.

We displayed the completed banner on our mantel! Nothing fancy but fun and easy that the kids enjoyed helping to create.
