Memorial Day Windsocks

This craft is good for any patriotic holiday, but especially useful on Memorial Day when you want to draw attention to your celebration. Very colorful and the kids love making them.

Activity Supplies:

Blue Construction Paper
Flat Sponges (the kind after you put them in water raise up to a regular sponge)
Paint (tempra or oil-based)
Cookie Cutter in the shape of a star
Red Crepe Streamers
White Crepe Streamers
Clear Contact Paper
String or Yarn

Project Directions:

Cut out star shapes on the sponges. Then put them in water to make them regular size. Glue a 35 mm canister to one end of the sponge. This will keep the paint off the children's hands. Dip the star shaped sponge in white paint and then onto the construction paper. If you do not want to use the sponges you could use the star shaped cookie cutters instead. When dry you can add contact paper so that you can put it outside but I found the crepe paper runs in the rain and doesn't look good. (You can try it) Fold the blue construction paper into a cylinder and staple together Then add the red and white streamers. A very patriotic symbol for Memorial Day.
