This year marks the 150th birthday of my homeland, Canada. There are so many celebrations and memorials, my kids are coming home from school talking all about Canada’s birthday and how we can celebrate. If you want to celebrate the milestone birthday of Canada you can participate in all of the celebrations taking place across the country (find an event here) all year long. You can also make your own Canada 150 gear using the Cricut Explore.
To celebrate this momentous occasion with my kids I made some simple vinyl decals using the Canada 150 logo and put them on water bottles. I love how they turned out, and can’t wait to come up with more gear for the family to wear, especially cute shirts for Canada Day.
