Celebrating the Fourth of July

No doubt the kids will be getting toasty while waiting for the fireworks to begin. Let the kids make this easy, festive fan to keep them cool!

Materials Needed:

• Wooden paint stirrer or large tongue depressor
  
• 2 -8-inch squares of card stock, one white and one blue, for each fan
• Red tape or strips of red construction paper
  
• Sticker stars

Instructions:

1. Use glue to sandwich the top of a wooden paint stirrer between two 8-inch squares of card stock (one white and one blue).
2. Apply strips of red tape to the white side and sticker stars to the blue side, and the fan is ready to wave.
