- Create a Flag
Using the US Flag Printable, paint the flag using fingerprints. Place paint on a plate and dab three fingers into the paint. Stamp the fingers on the flag. Paint the blue rectangle first to allow it to dry before adding the 50 "stars." Use one fingerprint to create the stars. Count the stars as you paint to get exactly 50 stars.
Discuss:
7 red stripes, 6 white stripes to represent the 13 original colonies
50 white stars to represent the 50 states of the union
Blue symbolizes justice
Red symbolizes courage
White symbolizes purity
