Happy Birthday Canada!

I was going to save this craft for tomorrow's Canada Day, but we were stuck inside this morning by thunderstorms, so we plunged ahead.

I gave the children a pile of magazines, and ask them to cut out all the red, and white pictures they could find.

They glued them to two separate sheets of paper, to make white, and red collages.

Then, I gave them a cookie cutter to trace, and cut out a maple leaf from the red collage.

I trimmed off the leaf section, and folded the rest in half, so they could cut it into two red strips.

Finally, they glued all the pieces together, to make a Canadian flag (sort of).



If nothing else, after searching through the magazines for all the interesting bits of red, and white, I doubt they'll ever forget the colors of Canada's flag.



It's great to be a homeschooler.
