10 Patriotic Crafts For Kids

When Summer hits, I can't stop thinking of all the fun we are about to have and a lot of that fun centers around patriotic holidays. Since most kids love to do crafts, I think it is the perfect opportunity to teach them about why we celebrate these holidays and what it means to be a good citizen, and an American. So let your creativity bloom this summer with these fun crafts you can do with your child! There are activities for children who are young as well as older kids. I tried to pick out crafts that were not only patriotic, but frugal as well. Many of these crafts can be made with easy to find supplies you might even have at home already!
