Once the pieces are colored and you're ready to assemble the flag, glue the stars on the top left corner of the flag piece and glue the flag pole from behind at the bottom left. That's it - you're done!

If you want, you can tape or glue a craft stick to the back of the flag pole so your little learner can wave it around.
