Have a Kids 4th of July Celebration!
With Independence Day just around the corner, I thought it’d be fun to brainstorm ways for even the littlest ones to be patriotic for the holiday. Here are 10 kids 4th of July celebration ideas to get you started…
10 Kids 4th of July Celebration Ideas
1. Have a Kids 4th of July Party
Invite some kiddie friends over for some patriotic fun and games. Give kids red, white and blue sand buckets filled with fun and patriotic favors like these ones from Kami Buchanan.
2. Decorate the House
Give the kids some scissors, glue, and red, white, and blue paper to make some easy patriotic decorations like this paper chain from A Pumpkin and a Princess.
3. Play with a Sensory Bin
Fill a bin with some red, white, and blue glitter, rice, pom-poms or other items and let even the littlest ones explore with their sense of touch. See an example of a patriotic sensory bin from Counting Coconuts.
4. Make a Kids 4th of July Treat
Turn your favorite treat into a patriotic one by adding some red, white, and blue, or starts. Find an easy recipe for stained glass jello at Brown Eyed Baker.

Use some simple crafting skills and supplies to make funny Fourth of July hats, like this one from No Ordinary Moments.
6. Have a Picnic

Great ideas. I used to love to decorate our bikes as a child. We would have a parade and ride the bikes in it. There was also a contest for the best bike at the summer camp. Found memories.
