Easy American flag crafts for kids to celebrate 4th of July or Memorial Day.

Each year I try to make new patriotic shirts with my boys. It became a summer tradition for us.

And we do it right on time for the 4th of July parade. We try to come up with new ideas each year.

We usually paint the t-shirts but last year we used tie-dye.

You will find my favorite flag shirt if you scroll down, but if you want more inspiration, make sure to check out this list of 10+ patriotic shirts.

Kids will use a wide variety of materials to create the flag, most of the them you already have in your craft room. As mentioned before, they are all simple crafts, great for kids as young as preschoolers and kindergartners.

Plenty of decoration ideas as well as a t-shirt and a ring, which, by the way, would make great accessories for the 4th of July parade.
