Arts and Craft- Make a vest out of a paper bag.

Your child can easily make a vest out of a paper bag. Vest can be for a carnival person, cowboy, Indian, sailor… Child can use it in 4th of July parade.

Using scissors cut bottom out of bag. Make a slit up middle, wide side, of bag. There should be two flaps in front of vest. Cut out arm holes in sides of bag, near top.
Using markers color stripes or put pockets on vest. For a sailor make funny tattoos. Glue buttons on front of vest. Child can put stickers, glitter, ribbon, pieces of fabric on vest. They can drip colored glue swirls on vest. Or they can outline the outside of vest with colored pipe cleaners. Have them use their imagination.
