10 Amazing American Eagle Crafts for Kids
Whether it’s National American Eagle Day or the Fourth of July, we’ve got you covered with these amazing American Eagle Crafts for Kids!
Every country has a national bird and national animal, and while we may not be able to identify most of them, there’s one national bird that everyone is sure to know – the American Bald Eagle!
Celebrated worldwide as an American icon, this bird also has a special day that falls this month – National American Eagle Day on the 20th of June.
What is National American Eagle Day?
This day commemorates the first time the American Eagle was added to the official seal of the United States, way back in 1782. The seal features a blade eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its right and left talons respectively.
The olive branch represents the country’s commitment to peace, while the arrows indicate its readiness for war, should it be needed. What’s more, bald eagles have great value in Native American culture, symbolizing freedom, strength and power.
Today, American Eagle Day is used to spread awareness about the conservation of the eagle’s natural habitats. So whether you’re observing this special day or need to get ready for the 4th of July, we’ve got some amazing American eagle crafts to keep you occupied!
