15 Patriotic Crafts for Kids
Since Memorial Day is approaching, I thought it would be a great time to feature patriotic crafts for kids and activities that even toddlers can do. All the ideas are ways to make learning about our country fun. They are perfect for Memorial Day as well as the 4th of July.
