Today I thought it would be fun to post some things that we do to Celebrate the 4th of July!
Last year we had a couple of July parties.
I covered these cans with themed paper and ribbon to hold silverware and treats (and just look cute).
I swirled this star wire around the glasses and used themed paper to write our names on them.
My friend made this cute cake. I put the licorice in the cans to resemble fireworks....
Each family carved a watermelon. This idea is from Family Fun and it was so fun!
Below are some of my favorite 4th of July Decorations!
This little music box plays the Star Spangled Banner!
It is a great time to teach it and sing it with the kiddos and talk about what it means!
This is my chipboard banner that I made. It says SPARKLE!
(for instructions see my Welcome Summer Banner!)
My mother-in-law made me this Star Stack.
Just cut three wooden stars, paint and stain, then tie with a ribbon!
I'm a sucker for all things red, white and blue. Love this post (and squirreling away some of these ideas)!
