I thought these rockets from Heart Filled Spaces were also a paper tube craft, but it’s actually all made with cardstock cut with a cutting machine (there are instructions for doing it by hand, too). There is a little painting involved, so this one isn’t quite as quick as some of the other ones, but they’re still really cute.
Paper tubes are a great base for all sorts of crafts, including this patriotic blower from Natural Beach Living. Littler kids can make beaded bracelets with pipe cleaners and pony beads. These are made with beads and paper straws. Stringing beads is another great fine-motor skill builder, and kids can get lots of practice stringing beads when they make these patriotic necklaces. This one is especially great for parents (or teachers!) who don’t like the mess that’s often associated with kids crafting. Speaking of ribbon, Momfessionals has an easy flag craft inspired by a wind sock made from a plastic cup and ribbons. Add to the fun by painting the sticks if you like (before you add the ribbon, of course!). These cute ribbon wand flags from Ruffles and Rain Boots are also a great fine-motor skill activity for little ones as they loop the ribbon to attach it to the stick.
I guess it’s because stars and stripes and red, white and blue are such simple things to work with and build off of, and there’s something extra-homey about a kid-made American flag.Įven if you’re not super crafty yourself, these kid crafts for the Forth of July are quick and easy to make and fun to use as decor for all your holiday gatherings. I don’t know why the Fourth of July feels like a crafting holiday to me, but it does.
