Patriotic Hand Print Star
Kids’ 4th of July crafts might need to be a little messy to be fun. Ditch the brush on this preschool 4th of July craft and let your little one use her hands instead!
Step 1: Paint a square canvas blue and secure a star stencil to the canvas using painters tape
Step 2: Paint your child’s hands and press them inside the star shape. If you are creating the star without a child or want less mess, simply use sponges to sponge paint onto the star
Step 3: Remove your stencil and enjoy your artwork!
I just love these simple 4th of July crafts for preschoolers because they are so fun and perfect for families. Use your new patriotic décor to decorate your home or for your Independence Day celebrations. Your children will be so proud to see their work on display! Combine any of these projects and create a beautifully festive centerpiece or an art display for your family and friends! Enjoy.
