Quick Patriotic Crafts & Treats for a Festive 4th of July

Who's ready to celebrate a fun and festive 4th of July? Last year, my family and I were at the beach for the 4th, and this year, we'll be home, celebrating with family and friends. It's so much fun to teach the kiddos about the history of our great nation, and to celebrate by enjoying fun crafts and festive foods! If you're in the mood to celebrate, we're sharing a few quick & easy crafts and recipes that you can make with your family. Check out a few of our favorites!

I love these adorable 4th of July Wands! They are too cute, and so easy to make with a couple of dowels and some string and ribbon! If you're like me, and keep items like these on hand in your craft closet, you can whip these up in no time!

A 4th of July Sensory Bottle is a great activity for kids to make and play with!

Red, White & Blue Tie Dye Shirts are super fun to make for the 4th!
