This is really the same craft as the coaster, but is built for younger kids (I have a 2 yr old and a 6 yr old so always have to make sure I have a version suited for the youngest).

You can use this paper craft to hang on the wall or fridge, or you can glue it to the front of a home made red construction paper Canada Day greeting card.

Materials (mobile):

• a printer,
• paper,
• some crayons, paint, markers or pencil crayons (if using B&W template),
• scissors,
• glue

Craft Instructions:

• Print out the templates of choice.
• Cut the template in 1/2 so the circle is on one page and the leaf on the other.
• Color of paint the leaf.
• Cut out the circle.
• Cut out the leaf.  Young children may need help with this.
• Glue the leaf into the center of the circle.
• To make a card, fold a piece of red construction paper in half and glue the maple leaf circle onto the front.  Write a message inside.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
