Patriotic Crafts That Are A Natural For Summer!

Make your holiday RED, WHITE, BLUE and GREEN!

Memorial day marks the beginning of the beach season, at least here in the Northeast.  It's a time when  families open up their summer homes and embrace the coming sun and sea.

If you are headed for one of those sandy beaches on Cape Cod, the Maine Coast or elsewhere, gather some stones and head home to make a patriotic craft you can enjoy all summer long for  Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.

The lazy days of summer allow us the perfect time to do nature crafts.  

Cape Cod is a stone's throw to sandy beaches where beach rocks, shells and driftwood are plentiful.  Add some paint and you have the perfect summer project!

Busy being patriotic and creative!

Ten neighborhood kids in Sandwich, MA decided to make painted rocks, shells and wood to sell in their lemonade stand to put towards their summer activity fund.  The project included children ages 5 to 13.  

It was a perfect way to start the summer and a patriotic holiday...and did I say a blast for Fourth of July?

Painted shells pieces and rocks make great flags! 

Stars and stripes decor for Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day any Patriotic Holiday

A fun craft for any age.

Kids can learn to take pride in their country and their work.

Almost ready for the holiday weekend.
