Statue of Liberty Craft & Costume

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure statement for details.

June 28, 2013 Shannon Schmid 21 Comments

The Statue of Liberty stands in the New York Harbor, and is a symbol of Freedom Lighting the way. It can be tricky to teach kids about symbols, and this Statue of Liberty craft and costume are super easy, but can really help bring history alive for them. Its also a great way to start talking about American history and why the 4th of July is so important to Americans!

It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just we It shouldn’t have taken this long, but I just went bowling for the first time in my life! 🎳

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
