So the 4th of July is coming this week, and I really meant to get pack to posting sooner since moving cross-country, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Regardless, if you have a Summer program, and are doing INdependence Day related activities, this one's for you!

You will need:

Cardstock
Black slightly watered- down paint
Quills or long firm feathers

Show your kids how our founding fathers signed the original declaration using quills and ink. Then allow them to do the same. For a finished look, once the ink's dried, dip black tea bags into cold water and drag them across the paper. Once dry- the paper will look like yellowed parchment.

Happy Fourth!!
