I got everything ready by cutting out a circle, you can do this with paper, cardboard, construction paper etc. Then cut a smaller circle out of the middle of that! After that is done, cut out 2 maple leafs per child- one large enough to fit in the centre of the circle, and the other small enough to fit on the beaver. Yes- Beaver- then draw and cut out a beaver!
The I collected our items to decorate- the kids wanted to colour their pictures today, but you could use piece of red paper- like a collage, paint, markers etc. We needed tape, and a piece of string as well!
Then I explained that Friday is Canada's birthday. And that on our flag we have a maple leaf- which is red. And that our Animal is a beaver. We then coloured the circle and the leafs red, and the beaver brown.
Then we used the tape to tape the beaver onto the wreath, then the small leaf onto the beaver, and then with string, we attached the larger leaf in the middle of the circle.
