Today, First Lady Melania Trump welcomed children to the White House with a patriotic arts and crafts activity in the Kennedy Garden as part of the White House’s annual Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day celebration. Children of staff in the Executive Office of the President joined Mrs. Trump in decorating wooden American flags with red and blue markers, star stickers, and fluffy red, white, & blue pom-pom balls.

“It is always special to see children’s creativity and spirit on display, especially here at the White House where so many hardworking men and women support the success of our Nation every day,” said First Lady Melania Trump.

The event comes a day after Mrs. Trump joined President Trump in signing the “TAKE IT DOWN” Act and reflects the First Lady’s BE BEST initiative, which emphasizes the importance of supporting the well-being of children and youth. The White House proudly hosted this activity, which highlighted Mrs. Trump’s ongoing commitment to encouraging confidence and the success of the next generation.
