Children are always inquisitive and they wanted to explore the world. That’s why they are creative because they do not fear, they are not afraid to try and do things. So, why not help your child in his creations and instill to them the meaning of patriotism this coming Independence Day?

As an adult it is our responsibility to ensure that the crafts and activities of our kids are safe and suitable to their age. I understand that finding that right activity or craft is not easy so I have listed some examples of what you may do on July 4th. I assure you these examples are easy, fun, not expensive yet rewarding.

Star-spangled Ride – Personalize your child’s bike by adding star cutouts, bells, garlands, straws and flags. This will make sure your child’s bike is fit for the celebration of our independence. These brings color and life to your child’s boring bike. Now she’ll be excited to go to the park and show her beautiful bike.

Homemade Fan of the American Flag - Teach your child the ways to use a fan and help her create her very own Independence Day fan. With very easy steps which are to cut papers to from rectangles, design them and combine them using a paper clip. In less than 30 minutes your child will be waving fans. You may also ask her to invite friends so they have a fan fare.

The Crown of Freedom – Make your child smile by helping them make a crown that resembles the colors of the independence and the style of the crown of liberty. Use straws, garlands, pompoms and duct tapes. Ask your child to wear it and take a photo of him as a souvenir or have it framed.

Independence Day Confetti Shower – Parties involves fireworks and surprises all the time. If you’re good in simple physics then the best craft is to a confetti launcher. This is a safe and really fun way of celebrating the Independence of our country. Children may fire up confetti’s over and over again.

Sparkless fireworks pen – Fireworks will never be absent during the Independence Day. You’ll see people lighting sparklers and kids just envy them. Make kids happy by helping them create a safe and easy to make fireworks pen. Buy some wired garlands with stars as the design. Put it together by using duct tape on a pen. Make sure you’ll have battery connections and then place a switch on, boom! Instant fireworks display and you’ll be considered a hero.

Stars and Stripes Hat – Create Uncle Sam’s hat and instill patriotism to your child’s mind. Create a simple costume party using the hat you created. You may also bring your child to a parade. You only need a paper bag, duct tapes, and colored papers. Just use the paper bag and create a hat out of it, cover it with colored paper that resembles the stripes, cut out stars and stick it on the hat. Just do those 3 steps and you’ll have a simple hat.

Patriotic robot for Independence – Kids love robots and what more can you give them on Independence Day than creating them a cute looking robot? Use a clear jar as the body, stick it on two used cans (will serve as the legs) and another can on top (will serve as the head). Put hands on the side of the jar using stick or rolled paper. Create eyes on the robots head and put colorful utensils on the can. The jar can be used to keep cookies and candies. I am definite that your child will love this robot.
