Life, Liberty and Happiness Banners With Faceted Stars

Five wide banners are stacked one above the other, and each one has a faceted star on its left end. The words run down the page in big outlined bubble letters: LIFE, LIBERTY, & THE, PURSUIT OF, and HAPPINESS. Every star is drawn with fold lines running from the center out to the points, so each one looks like it has light and dark sides. The letters are thick and open inside, which makes them easy to fill in, even for younger kids. Try coloring the stars in alternating red and blue, then leaving the banners white or filling the letters with stripes. This page also works well for a classroom talk about the famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence. Kids can read each line out loud while they color. It's a free printable that fits nicely into 4th of July activity time at home or at school.
