What you'll need:
- 1 piece of cardboard 6 inches long and 3 inches wide
- 1 piece of white construction paper, cut to the same size as the cardboard
- 2 pieces of red construction paper, 3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide
- Scissors
- Maple leaf pattern (see below)
- Scrap of red construction paper big enough for the maple leaf
- Popsicle stick
- School glue
How to make it:
- Cut out all of the pieces of construction paper and cardboard to the appropriate sizes.
- Glue the white piece of construction paper to the rectangle of
cardboard. - Glue the two pieces of red construction paper to each end of the white construction paper so it looks like the Canadian flag.
- Print the Maple Leaf.
- Cut out the maple leaf from the pattern and trace it onto the red construction paper.
- Cut out the red maple leaf.
- Glue the leaf between the two strips of red construction paper.
- Glue the Popsicle stick either behind or place it between the layers of the cardboard.
Tips:
If you have a piece of white cardboard, you can use that. You won't have to use white paper if you do.
