Star Spangled Wreath

What You Do:

1. Help your child cut out a ring from the cardboard, to use as a base for the wreath. You might need to use heavy duty scissors.
2. Have your child sketch some stars onto colors paper, and cut them out. Encourage her to create different sizes, for a more visually interesting wreath.
3. Cover the table with newspaper for easy cleanup, and then have your child glue some glitter to the stars to make them pop.
4. Start positioning the stars around the wreath to create a firework effect. Your child can glue stars onto the chenille stems and tape them to the wreath so they poke out, like a starburst.
5. Out of corrugated cardboard, cut a ring to use as a base for the wreath.
6. Now squeeze a ring of glue around the cardboard base, and press more stars onto the glue, until all of the base is covered.
7. Let glue dry for at least one hour and then hang the wreath someplace everyone can see.
