4th of JULY Craft, Snack and Decoration!

Happy 4th of July! Here's some fun things to do in a playgroup or just with your own kids to make the 4th a special fun day. Start the morning off by painting 

Decorating

 white stars on the grass in your front yard. Use a poster board or a large piece of cardboard as a stencil. Use white spray paint to fill in the star shape. The paint will eventually wash off or be cut off next time you mow the lawn. 

Snack

Then go inside to cool off and make some fruit kabobs with blueberries, strawberries or raspberries and bananas as a snack. 

Craft

Finish off the morning or afternoon with some some patriotic wands. Tie ribbons to the top of a chop stick or skewer stick. These will be fun toys to use while watching fireworks.

Playgroup Activity: Butterfly Snack Packs

Buy some of your child's favorite snacks and make these cute butterfly snack packs. This is a fun and easy activity to do with a play group and everyone gets to take one home with them! You could also make these with fruits and vegetables for a healthier option. Just store them in your fridge and they'll be ready to go when you are.

What you'll need:

Snack size Ziploc bags

Clothes pins

Craft paint

Pipe cleaners and/or Googly eyes 

Snacks/Fruits/Veggies

Sharpie pen

Place some snacks inside the zip lock bag and close it up. Filling it about half way full will allow room for the clothes pin. Paint the clothes pins or you can buy some that are already colored. Attach the googly eyes to the clothes pin and use the sharpie to write your child's name or a cute little note. You could even name each butterfly. Pinch the bag in the middle and attach the clothes pin. Bend a pipe cleaner into the shape of some antennas and pinch it between the very tip of the clothes pin. Now you have a snack you're kids can't wait to eat! Be sure to save the clothes pins so you can re-use them later!
