Red, White & Blue Star Craft For Kids

This time of year, it is a great time to review the colors of the American flag: red, white, and blue.

Around the 4th of July, we do lots of crafts for the holiday. We also do lots of studies about the American Revolutionary War.

We did some fine motor skills with this red, white, and blue star craft.

The Red, White & Blue Star Craft is a fun addition to the Fourth of July Crafts on the site.

Red, White & Blue Star Craft

The Red, White & Blue Star Craft is a fun star craft for kids using a black background and red, white and blue stars that kids punch out and gle on the black background. There is no set way that this star craft has to look. And kids can be creative in how they glue the stars on.

A simple star craft for kids in tot (ages 2 to 3), preschool (ages 3 to 4), prek (ages 4 to 5), and kindergarten (ages 5 to 6).

Book We Read with the Red, White & Blue Star Craft

We read the book Red, White, and Blue (Penguin Young Readers, L3) by Herman, John (1998) Paperback. We really like learning about the flag colors and their importance to us.

You could also read these books:

• F Is for Flag (Reading Railroad)
• Our Flag
• Our Flag: A History of the Stars and Stripes

I love that this is so easy to do and fun for any holiday around the 4th of July and Flag day!

How to Make the Red, White & Blue Star Craft

You are going o see how we made this star red, white and blue craft

Step 1: Punch Out the Stars

You stamp out the stars from the stripes of paper. You can use the punch on the table if that is what works for your kids.

Or you can hold the punch off the table and punch the stars. You can do what is easier for kids to do.

Step 2: Paint Glue on the Black Paper

You can use the paint brush and dip it into the glue and then paint the black paper with the glue.

Step 3: Place the Stars on the Glue

You then place the stars on the glue. There is no right or wrong way to glue on the stars. You can have them overlap or apart. But it does not matter how they look on the paper.

Step 4: Cut out the Stars Punches from the Strips

You can also cut out the stars form the strips you used for punch out the stars. This is something that I was asked if we could do. And yes you can.

Step 5: Cut out the Stars Punches from the Strips

For the last part and she cut up some of the paper that we stamped out the stars and glued them on the paper.

Step 6: Repeat the Steps Above

You can repeat the steps above for the craft. But let kids decide what they want to do with the craft. There is no right or wrong way to make this craft.
