Egg Carton American Flag Craft for Kids

If your family eats a lot of eggs save those big egg carton boxes! There are so many craft ideas to make with them such as this American Flag. It's a fun art project for the kids to make on Memorial Day or the 4th of July!
Materials Needed:
  • 18 count egg carton
  • Red, white, and blue paint
  • White paper
  • Scissors/ Paintbrush

Start by painting the 4 egg carton cups in the left corner blue. Then have the kids paint red stripes in all the "crevasses." After the red paint dries, grab some white paint and cover the tops.  Have the kids free-draw 4 stars and cut them out (just flip them over to cover the pencil marks). Glue them to the blue part of the flag and you're done! Add some ribbon on top to hang it up if you want.
