One of my favorite parts of celebrating every holiday and season is the aDOORable kids crafts that go along with the theme. Little prez always looks forward to it too. 😉

Memorial Day brings you a funky parade hat and a handprint flag!

Lets get started:

Parade Hat!

Supplies needed

Red, White, and Royal Blue construction or scrapbook paper.

A star shaped item to trace. I had this little wooded star left over from another project! You could also just print a clip art star from the internet and cut and trace around it.

scissors, red pipe cleaners, glue stick, tape

1. Using a 2 1/2″stripe of blue construction paper measure around your little ones head to make a perfect size.

2. Glue the ends of the paper together where it fits.

3. Trace and cut several stars of each color.

4. Use a red pipe cleaner and twist around your finger making a curly twisted shape. You will then tape your curled pipe cleaner to your stars.

And then just simply tape the pipe cleaner to the inside of the royal blue head band.

and wallah… you’re all set for the neighborhood Memorial Day Parade…or a family parade down the hallway at 9pm when we should be preparing for bed! hehe – hey, you only live once!

How aDOORable is my little stinker?

Next up, handprint flag!

Supplies needed:

Red, white, and royal blue paint

Paint brushes

Red and Sky Blue construction or scrapbook paper

1. Cut down the sky blue paper so that it fits in the middle of the red paper giving a layering look.
2. Paint the hand with the red, white, and blue paint as shown in photo

3. Place the hand in the middle on the layered paper for a sweet little flag.

4. Wash hand immediately 😉

 Grab your aDOORable kiddos and make some unforgettable family memories.
