HINT: This is perfect with our other US States for Kids resources!
American Symbols and Landmarks for Kids
We built The Empire State Building (NY) with a super cool Lego kit.
We looked at some famous bridges in America. Then we built the Golden Gate Bridge (CA) with a 3D puzzle.
FREE American Symbols and Landmarks Worksheets
We read about the Bald Eagle, discovered that Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird, and picked a family bird.
After reading about The White House & learning about some famous Presidents, Goofy wrote the President a letter & drew him a picture. (This was also great practice writing!) And two weeks letter we got an envelope from The White House! We were so excited to get a response letter, signed picture of Obama, signed family picture, interview with Obama & White House info, exploring the white house through art, and a day in the life of Boo (Obama's dog).
We learned about some famous & beautiful American parks and practiced our mapping skills.
We looked at the American flag and how it has changed throughout the years. Goofy observed how there was a star for each state. We talked about how the stripes represented the 13 original colonies. Then we made an edible American flag.
Included are FREE American Symbols and landmarks worksheets.
Statue of Liberty Crafts for Kids
We read a wonderful historical fiction book Saving the Liberty Bell by Megan McDonald and then made a liberty bell of our own. We also read about the statue of liberty & made our own torch.
We started this study with reading some good books to help us learn more about our national symbols & landmarks. These are great resources you should check out!
