The Red White and Blue

Oh, when the flag comes marching in,


Oh, when the flag comes marching in,


How I love to see its three colors,


The red, white, and blue.

*Stallone Tested and Approved: What a great activity! Stallone loved tracing the letters using a Q-Tip and paint! Very easy and simple way to teach the letters and handwriting. I thought next time I would do this lesson with his name, so he would get practice writing his name! Yay for Creative Minds!
