4th of July Arts and Crafts: Lincoln Penny House

Good Luck Lincoln Penny House.
What you need- 2 brown pieces of construction paper, crayons, scissors, stapler, glue and a penny.
Draw the frame of a house on one construction paper. Cut it out. Trace cut out on other construction paper. Cut this house out as well. Draw a door and windows on one house. Cut door so you can open it when it is laid on top of other brown paper (cut door on three sides). Cut windows the same way. Put plain house under house with door and windows. Staple papers together on edges. Underneath the cut out door glue a penny on it. For underneath window flaps draw a dog or children. Or draw a lantern or a candle under window flap. Child can also draw a US flag on front of house.
