While big concerts and festivals are held in major Canadian cities and televised across the country on 1 July, most families will attend or host a backyard picnic or barbeque with family, friends and neighbours. These festivities feature outdoor decorations, and guests are often given badges that are worn to demonstrate Canadian spirit. So, not only can your children have a fantastic time celebrating the festival itself with food and games, they can make their own decorations too.
DECORATIONS
Many decorations feature red and white maple leaves, one of Canada's national emblems presented in the national colours, and so the group will need to paint and cut out quite a few of them. Children can draw their leaves freehand, make templates to draw around, or print out a maple leaf pattern from the Internet (see 'Website tips' below).
