During the month of July my little girls wanted to learn all about “The Statue of Liberty”. They had so much fun learning fun facts about The Statue of Liberty, how it was made, the story behind the artist whose vision became a lifelong achievement, reading the wonderful book: Naming Liberty, by Jane Yolen, looking at real photographs of The Statue of Liberty, and of course making this cute art project.

CLICK HERE to download this Statue of Liberty Activities Packet. The packet contains everything listed in this post plus the actual patterns needed to make this darling “Statue of Liberty Paper Plate Art Project”. The packet contains a step by step tutorial to make “The Statue of Liberty Paper Plate Art Project”. My little girls are still playing with their masks they made. Here is Little Blonde and Little Red showing of their cute finished “Statue of Liberty Art Project”. They both added long eyelashes and pretty lips to Lady Liberty.

You will receive these great pictures of the Statue of Liberty. I have also compiled a list of fun and interesting facts after doing a little research. I felt like I was back in school working on a research project. :0) My girls loved learning about these fun facts. Naming Liberty, by Jane Yolen is the book we read to go along with this mini unit. I have included my review in the packet you can download. Naming Liberty is a FABULOUS book. I am definitely going to purchase it and add it to our personal library. Speaking of libraries, don’t you just love going to the public library? We usually go once a week. Sometimes even more in the summertime.

You don’t just have to talk about “The Statue of Liberty” during the month of July. You can study this amazing piece of artwork and symbolism of liberty throughout the year.
