Canada Day Flag Craft for Kids to Make

So, the girls did this Canada day flag craft a couple of years ago and I thought we had better give it another try. Why not share it with you?
A simple Canada flag craft to make with the kids - Celebrate Canada Day with a hand print flag. | Canada Craft for Kids | Canada Flag Craft | Patriotic Craft Canada | This idea came to me when I realized that we didn’t (and still don’t) own a Canadian flag. Sad, but true. The Canadian flag is pretty simple – and we are kinda crafty – we decided to make our own. Instead of trying to draw a maple leaf, which is pretty impossible, we substituted the girls’ hand prints. Instant patriotic flag and instant keepsake. Here’s what we did.
 

Canada Flag Craft for Kids to Make

 Cut large pieces of paper (we use the big roll of white paper from IKEA)

Using a black marker, an adult can draw the outline of the flag

Apply paint to your child’s clean (or as clean as you can get it) hand.

Once the flag is dry, trace the child’s handprint with black marker

That is how simple it is to make a personalized Canadian flag. I’m sure that you could also make an American flag in a similar way. Use the child’s handprint for the stars, and fingerprints for the stripes…or fingerprints for the stars and stripes. No matter what country you live in, using your child’s handprint excuses any inaccuracies. Have fun!
