Happy 4th!

Since my little kids are too young to be setting fireworks off, we'll be making crafts instead. Then they can enjoy leaving the pyrotechnics to the dads!


Here are my 2 favorites:


Fireworks Art












Squirt blobs of diluted crafts glue onto a piece of black sheet foam. Then blow through a flexible straw to spread the glue and create interesting star burst shapes. Sprinkle colored sand on the glue, then let it dry. Repeat with more glue and sand colors to create your faux fireworks display.


Hop, skip, bang



















Set up a Bubble Wrap hopscotch course in the garage. It's loud, legal, and safe! Apply double sided adhesive tape to the underside of the painted squares to prevent them from slipping.
