We started by making lines on a white piece of paper. We ended up making them wider than in this picture to make it easier for the little guy.
We glued a piece of blue paper. Coincidentally, my 2 year old son is the king of the glue stick- he loves it!

Notice the different styles, my daughter is very careful when working on any craft.
I cut out strips of paper and my daughter then cut them into squares. We started off with a pretty big pile of them.
And then we started creating the red stripes by gluing down our red squares.
As you can see, some were more neat than others.

I've got a glue stick-lover, too and I know she'd make a windowfull of these if I let her. Thanks for the simple idea!
Oh I adore this project. It is going in my style file for sure!
Happy 4th of July!
I love first that you used a quilter's ruler to draw the lines, and then that the little man used a hammer to get the job done. The potato stamp was icing on the cake. Great job! Thanks for linking up to Finished for Friday!
