USA American Star Wreath

USA American Star Wreath

Have your older kids fold and cut their own stars, or pre-cut for younger children - either way, making a wreath out of red white and blue stars is a fun project and a great way to learn about the American Flag!

This wreath can hang on the wall, or can be worn as a crown!

  • World Library: United States

    • double sided tape or glue

    Preparation
