This is a fun holiday activity to do with the kids. It makes a nice decoration for the 4th of July holiday and keeps the kids busy for a bit.

What you will need:

White paper or cardstock
Paint: blue and red
Paintbrushes
Glue or tape
Streamers: blue and red

Step 1:

Paint blue and red stripes on the white paper. As a side note, old ice trays make a perfect paint palette. It’s also perfect for when you need to mix colors, because there are plenty of spots for mixing!

Step 2:

Put a thin line of glue along the back of one edge of the white paper. Roll the paper to match the other edge to the glue in order to make a cylinder shape.

Step 3:

Glue some streamers to the inside bottom of the windsock.

Step 4:

Twist some blue and red streamers together and glue to opposite sides inside the top to make the hanger. Then hang on your front door or your mailbox for a perfect 4th of July decoration.
