Feather Pen
On a visit to Lake Tahoe, my kids had a great time collecting feathers. The local ducks seemed to drop them in abundance.
I was trying to come up with some creative ideas for celebrating July 4th, and I thought it would be fun to use the feathers as quill pens (in remembrance of the way our Founding Fathers used to write).
I picked up some ink at Michael’s, and gave it a shot. I was surprised it worked so well!
My daughter had a great time making dots (and a few letters!).
My son wrote “I am glad for America.”
Older kids could copy parts of the Declaration of Independence.
May your traditions be meaningful this 4th of July!
