4th of July Activities & American Fruit Flag

The 4th of July is two days away and I don’t know about you but I am searching Pinterest for a cute 4th of July activity to do with my daughter around this type of holiday. Usually, I’m a little behind the curve but not this time (sort of)!! We made our little American Fruit Flag a few days early! It was really simple and fast but brought huge smiles to Olivia’s face so totally worth it. We could have probably fit in a couple more 4th of July activities but…better luck next year!

All you need for the fruit flag is:
• Raspberries
• Mini marshmallows
• Blueberries
• Wood skewers

You could also arrange the fruit and marshmallows on a plate without the skewers but have you ever noticed that skewers just make things more fun sometimes?! 🤪

Other Must Try 4th of July Activities!

Perler Bead Headband: Isn’t this such a cute headband? What a simple and cute 4th of July activity that doubles as an accessory. I know my daughter would LOVE to make this and LOVE to wear it even more. I love Perler beads and so does my daughter but I hate how they get made and then tossed around the house in junk drawers. This awesome craft gives us an excuse to use the Perler beads without letting them sit and collect dust afterward.

Popsicle Stick Stars: This project can be for kids and moms, which makes it a lot of fun. I think crafts that my daughter and I can each do are the best because it is fun for me and fun for her. She can feel independent and I can do my own without overpowering her creativity with my perfectionism! It’s a win-win.

Handprint Flag T-Shirt: Aren’t these flag t-shirts the most adorable?! A great 4th of July activity for the whole family too! If you’re going to a 4th of July BBQ this weekend these shirts would be really cute to show up in? Not to mention, it’d be fun to do with your kiddos because who doesn’t love to play in the paint.

Next year, when I do a better job of planning, maybe I’ll try a couple more 4th of July activity ideas.
