Simple Patriotic Crafts for Kids

If you have a child with very limited skills like I do, crafts can be frustrating and just so eye-roll-worthy. K requires a significant amount of hand-over-hand, so it can be disheartening at times to see younger kids surpass him in ability. I am always on the lookout for very simple, but cute crafts, that K can do and it doesn’t look like a baby did it. I also don’t like when I can obviously tell that an adult did it while he sat next to them.

I love themed crafts and activities for so many reasons. They help orient kids to the season or time of year. Fine motor and sensory skills can be practiced in a fun way. You can also use them to expand language and vocabulary.

I definitely spend a lot more time pinning than doing anything I see on Pinterest, still, it’s nice to have a list to pull from on a rainy, bored day when we need something to do. I am definitely doing the second one since we use those dabbers often anyway.
