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!
