Patriotic Crafts for Kids

May 17, 2024 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

With Memorial Day right around the corner, it feels like we are hitting patriotic crafting season in the United States. We happen to have lots of patriotic holidays during the summer, so anything red, white and blue fits right in. Of course these colors are used by a lot of countries, so just because you’re not American doesn’t mean you can’t use some of these patriotic crafts or adapt them for the colors and symbols of your nation.

This patriotic window decoration from Kinder Craze is a great example. If your flag has a star you can change up the colors, or even just do it with stripes if your flag only has solid colors.

Speaking of stars, this red white and blue star fingerprint craft from Our Kid Things was made for Memorial Day, but it’s great to make any time in the patriotic holiday season. If you’re in a different country and stars aren’t part of your flag, you can just make a fun star craft that isn’t necessarily patriotic.

The red white and blue spinner craft from Crafty Morning is made out of a paper plate and could of course be made in any colors and even with a different shape instead of the star. So cute and a great way to practice scissors skills!

Buggy and Buddy has a cute idea for patriotic wands you can make with leftover ribbons and things if you have the right colors in the house. This version uses a wooden dowel with a screw eye, but you could also just tie the ribbons to a stick if you don’t have a screw eye handy.

Kids can help roll the tubes for this paper wreath craft from Home Talk, but it uses a lot of hot glue so an adult or older kid should be in charge of the assembly. Or practice fine motor skills by making a red, white and blue clothespin wreath, like this one from Kippi at Home.

You can also keep it classic and make a paper chain to use as decor for all your cookouts and patriotic holidays. This one from A Pumpkin and a Princess used striped scrapbook paper and star stickers, but you could do it with just red, white and blue construction paper as well.

Book Review: Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook – Girl Group Edition

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
