Hi everyone!
I can’t believe July is already here and July 4th is just in a few days! I wanted to share some easy crafts you can do with your kids in the days leading up to the 4th just using some household items.
Firework paintings:
To make this really cool, simple firework painting take 7 plastic straws and tape them all together. Bend them outwards to create a spoked circle. Just stamp into some red or blue paint and stamp onto paper to get a firework. They turned out really cute!
July 4th Rockets:
To make these rockets we began by painting toilet paper rolls blue. Once dried we glued on white stars and taped red and white streamers to the inside. Super easy and these were my kids favorite! They were running all through the yard letting the wind blow their rocket streamers.
We also learned about the American flag with some finger painting and did some fun tracing activities from Everyday Learn and Play (FREE flag printable on her blog.)
This new Fourth of July Learning Fun Set is full of puzzles, games, crafts, recipes, history journal pages, and more! We love to use this the week leading up to the 4th! Check it out HERE! 
Also find this simple yet amazing printable HERE about being thankful of Independence Day.
