5. Get Crafty
There are tons of fun crafts focusing on the Fourth of July, and all it’s red, white, and blue glory.
Making foam paint in the classic holiday colors is easy, and you can take the kids outside to the pavement to compete in a “best holiday depiction” contest.
Setting out coloring pages that depict different key events associated with the Fourth of July while you tell the story is an educational way to spend a craft day.
