​Materials needed for an easy flag craft

This flag cut and paste craft is available in both color and black and white.

To make this craft, you will need:

• Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button)
• Printer access and paper or card stock
• Blunt tipped scissors
• Glue stick
• Preschool pencil or something else to write and trace with
• Colored pencils or crayons, if you're using the coloring page version

Coloring the flag is easiest before cutting out the pieces. This flag is simplified and only has 5 strips and 12 stars.

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.
