Recreate the classic Scottish flag with your little ones to celebrate St Andrew's Day in a creative way! This project is great for younger children as the cutting and ripping of the elements for the mosaic will help hone their fine motor skills.

This is also a great way to use up pieces from your craft stash! Look for all the traditional blue elements in there and piece together your paper flag.
