Color in your maple leaf red. Add a stem to the bottom of the maple leaf. 
Maple leaf tree rubbings Supplies Needed: tracing paper or light weight paper Go on a nature walk with your child and collect some maple leaves if maple trees grow in your area. Place the leaves flat down on a smooth surface. Place a piece of tracing paper on top of the leaves. For a smaller child, it helps to tape down the corners of the paper. Using the side of the crayon, rub over the paper where the leaf is beneath it. The design and shape of the leaf will come through onto the paper.
Red and white Canada Day fridge magnets Supplies Needed: red, white or silver glitter Glue a magnet onto the center of the back of a juice can lid. Let dry. Depending on what kind of design you would like: For a solid glitter magnet, rub glue all over juice can lid and sprinkle red, white or silver glitter or a combination of these over the glue. Shake excess glitter onto piece of paper. Let dry. For a maple leaf picture: draw a maple leaf on the center of the juice can lid with a marker. Fill in the maple leaf with a thin layer of glue. Shake red colored glitter over the maple leaf and shake off excess glitter onto paper. Spread a thin layer of glue on the area surrounding the maple leaf and then sprinkle white or silver glitter over same and shake off excess. These make beautiful Canada Day crafts for kids! 
Happy Birthday Canada picture Supplies Needed: black construction paper 8x11 inches Draw a fireworks design at the top of your paper with glue and sprinkle glitter over same. Shake off excess glitter. Glue a small Canada flag onto the bottom of the paper. With stickers, markers or crayons,print"Happy Birthday Canada" onto the paper.
Sparkly Canada Day water jar Supplies Needed: jar(baby food jar or pickle jar) Adult help required with glueing and handling boiling water. Fill jar up to 1/4 inch from the rim with water. Spoon in some glitter and/or confetti(not too much though). If you want to add something interesting to the jar such as a small toy or greenery,then you want to elevate the scene so it is in clear view. To do this, glue a plastic lid (cut and sized to fit in jar lid) inside the jar lid or build up the area with a little extra florist clay. Be sure to leave the edges clear so you have room to screw on the lid. Seal the lid to the jar with a small amount of silicone sealant around the threads of the lid and close tightly. When the glue is dry,turn the jar upside down and watch your Canada Day jar rain down red and white sparkles. You can also decorate the outside of the jar with small toothpick sized Canada flags or stickers or red and white painted pictures.Easy and inexpensive Canada Day crafts for kids!
