Celebrating the Birth of a Nation… with a bit of paint and lots of fun!
Growing up in a military family, I was taught to love our country, respect our flag, appreciate our freedoms, and celebrate the birth of our nation in style. The Fourth of July meant watching (or participating in) a parade, setting off fireworks, and enjoying the company of friends and family while remembering how fortunate we are to live in the United States of America!
As a parent, I have tried to pass on an appreciation of our nation and its people to my sons by teaching them the history of our great country and celebrating the birth of our nation and the freedoms for which our Forefathers fought. Two years ago, I was thumbing through Family Fun (my all time favorite magazine) when I came across a fun Fourth of July craft activity: patriotic t-shirts!
I’m over at The Homeschool Classroom today. Visit me there to find out how we made our patriotic t-shirts… and then meet me back here later on this evening to see how we are progressing on our creative All-American t-shirts for this year! Here’s a little peek at the supplies we’ve gathered together.
