  • Learn about the American Flag.  
    Talk with children about the meaning
    of the stars and the stripes.
  • Look at the colors on the flag, what
    does the Red, White and Blue stand
    for?
  • Learn the pledge of Allegiance,
    listen carefully and remind children
    that we are a Nation under God......
    what does that mean?  Whose laws
    should come first in our lives?
Step 1
Draw a pencil outline for where the blue
of the flag will be in the shape of a
rectangle.  Take a white crayon, press
hard and make stars
Step 4
Using you're blue water color you can
begin to paint in the rectangle over the
stars.
Step 5
You need to keep the paint watered down
quite a bit and the stars will begin to show
up.
Step 3
Make stripes with the masking tape all the
way down the paper.  If you like you can
cut you can fit 13 on there.
Step 6
Using your red paint, you can now paint in
the gaps between the masking tape.
Step 7
It's okay to go over the top of the tape
because we'll be removing it later.
Step 2
Using masking tape, lay out strips
alongside the rectangle to the other end
of the paper.  The paper under the tape
will be the white stripes.
Step 8
Once your paint is dry, carefully peel back
the masking tape.  (Mom or Dad might
need to do this)
Step 9
If you go slowly, you can get a crisper
edge for your stripes.
Hang your flag up in your classroom, or
on a pole!  Or you can write the pledge
of allegiance on the back.
All Done!
