We're so excited to celebrate this Inauguration Day! But we know it can be hard to get younger kids in on the celebration. Helping them decorate and write a letter to the incoming President and Vice President is a great way to get them involved and have some creative fun! Just print out our letter templates, decorate with your art supplies, add your own text, and send off!
