What is a Printable?

When searching for craft ideas, we often come across "printable" links. Printables are craft templates, created by other people, that are used to simplify your own projects. A printable can be free, or at a  cost. They can be used for their intended purpose, or at your own creative leisure.  Below are some examples of how we have used a free Fourth of July Printable link with a creative flair.

We traced the child's hand (with fingers closed). Then offered the children red, blue, green, and black paint. We assisted them in painting their hand prints as thought they were flags. Once the paint had dried, we added a little glitter glue on the blue section to create stars.

We made a wind sock using strips of red, white and blue paper, white paper, red yarn and star shaped stickers. We placed the stars on one side, and glued the strips of paper on the opposite side of the paper, then glued the seam together to create a cylinder.  We then used some yearn and a hole punch to hang the wind sock.
