How to complete the Memorial Day LEGO build?

Little bins for little hands have created an American Flag LEGO Build with directions here. The build is not difficult but will require a number of red, white, and blue LEGOs. It also works much better if you have a 10″ x 10″ base plate.

How to make this LEGO build educational?

If you are using this Memorial Day LEGO build as a way to keep your kids entertained and occupied that is great. However, this build is a great opportunity to talk to your kids about the colors on the flag. For example, red symbolizes hardiness and valor, white symbolizes purity and innocence, and blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice. In addition, you can discuss the stars and the stripes and how they represent the original 13 Colonies and the 50 states of the Union.
