INDIA
Welcome to India! We will make a Rangoli today.
If you don’t have round coffee filters, you can use any kind of paper — preferably something that the ink can bleed through to make the design symmetrical.
AFRICA
Let’s learn some African Dancing. You can follow along to the beat of the African drum!
Now you can make your paper African drum! Ask your mom or dad to draw the shape for you if you can’t.
AMERICA
The bald eagle was chosen in 1782 as the emblem of the United States of America. Its long life, great strength and majestic looks, as well as it not being found on the European continent made it the choice of the new settlers.
Here is a Bald Eagle craft for the children to make.

Have a nice day and we hope to see you soon! Sayonara, Au Revoir, Adios, Good-bye!!
