Preschoolers:

Place the bags of poms in front of your child and ask them to identity and sort the colors. Young children will enjoy placing these fuzzy Pom accessories on the flag.

Early Elementary:

Use the Paint Dab Marker color in the strips and blue section of the flag. Finish by gluing on white spangles for an extra sparkle.

Older Elementary:

Have your child practice painting inside the lines when using a watercolor paint and paint brush. When the paint dries, add the Felt Star Stickers.

Teacher's Corner

Design your own sensory-filled American flag with a little help from Betsy Ross!

Lesson Objectives

This template makes decorating easy for all grade levels! Whether your students use poms, watercolors, or even glitter glue, each flag will be just as unique as they are. Each material offers a different sensory experience and every student can follow a technique that challenges them to use their fine motor skills!
Wave ‘Em High: Ask your students to work inside the lines of the template while adding their materials — this simple instruction will help strengthen their fine motor skills as they create straight lines and pay attention to the details of their work.

Follow-up Discussion

Betsy Ross was a Philadelphian seamstress who received a request from George Washington to design a flag for a new nation — the United States of America. She used her skills to create five-pointed stars and stripes out of cloth. In class, examine the life and legend of the woman who created the American flag!
