Canada Day Crafts and Recipes {Link Up}
We Canadians are a generous bunch and we are also patriotic about being Canadian. I'm sharing my Strawberry Trifle recipe and a simple preschool craft idea to represent our family celebrations for Canada's birthday.
Materials:
white paper, any size as long as it's rectangular
red paint, markers or crayons
red paper
pencil
scissors
glue
paper towel roll or wooden dowel
Method:
Symbolic thinking and 3D sculpture making go hand in hand- Using a handprint to symbolize a maple leaf and encourages the creation of 3 dimensional art work and sculptures later on.
I added my trifle recipe to the list below and invite you to add your Canada Day themed posts including recipes, crafts, DIY decorations ideas and more!
