Toddler and Preschooler Activities for the 4th of July

Here's some last minute activities to do this weekend...

Star bracelets:
We made these out of the strips left over after cutting out our stars for the American flag. Cut your strip to fit your little one's wrist and tape in place. Easy!


Patriotic Counting Game:
I wrote the numbers 1-18 on the bottom of an egg carton. My girls had to throw a bouncy ball into the carton (I held the carton to make sure it actually landed inside). We looked at what number was at the bottom and counted out an equal number of stars to put into that little cup.



Starry Napkin Holders
My mother-in-law found this idea on Family Fun here.
You need blue napkins, cardstock, scissors and starlight mints. Instead of glue, my mother-in-law used the glue dots in the picture below.



Cut the card stock to fit around the napkins and tape in place. Glue the mints around the card stock and you're done!


And maybe have a little treat while you work...





Have a safe and fun 4th of July!
