Summer Project 4: Family Flags

It is nearly Independence Day (July 4th)!  The day we celebrate our nation's independence.  Many Americans proudly fly the American Flag during this time of year.  Seeing all of the flags, I was inspired to make a Family Flag!  I hope you will make one too!

You will need: 
(If you don't have all of these things, that is okay! You can make a great flag with just paper and pencil, if necessary.)
Construction paper (or any paper you have at home)
Crayons
Markers
Colored Pencils
Paint
Stick (I found one outside in the yard!)
Scissors

Directions:
1.  Use a piece of paper to create your Family Flag on.
2.  Use pencils, crayons, colored pencils, markers or paint to draw and color symbols that represent your family.  Ask yourself these questions to get started:  Who is in your family?  What does your family like to do together?  What colors does your family like?  (See some of the photos below for more ideas.)
3. If you want cut the paper on the edge for fringe (or cut tiny triangles) for extra decoration.
4.  Tape or glue the edge of your flag to the stick.
5. After it is dry, wave it proudly!!  

I took the photo of my flag before I added the stick.
