Whether you are marching in a parade or watching from the sidelines, this easy to make wand will make every kid feel like they are part of the celebration.

Red, white and blue card
Stick or dowel (we used an old balloon stick)
Thin red, white and blue ribbons
Glue
Tape

Cut one large, one medium and one small star from different colors of card. Glue one on top of the other, and tape to the stick.

Cut lengths of the ribbons and glue them to the back of the star.

As you can see from the photo below, we used a glittery red card and some blue corrugated card and our wand looks really great!
