Here are some 4th Of July crafts for everyone in the family to enjoy. They are easy and fun to create while requiring a very minimal amount of supplies. Check them out below!
This 4th Of July craft only requires a few supplies, and is very easy for all members of your family (especially children) to create. The best part: clean up is quick and easy. With a paper towel tube, some colored crepe streamers, craft paint, paint brushes, and glue, you can create a colorful, patriotic blower that children can enjoy playing with before the fireworks begin. Attach a string and hang them around to easily turn them into festive decorations!
Another great craft that your family will be sure to love is creating this 4th Of July slime. Just three materials can be used to create this patriotic slime including liquid starch, glue, and some star confetti. All it takes are a few careful measurements, and you will have slime in the matter of minutes. Also clean up is simple and quick as the slime can be stored in a small container such as plastic Tupperware. For the full tutorial, click here!
This ribbon crown is a cute, inexpensive 4th Of July craft as it also only requires three materials. Simply attach some red, white, and blue ribbon as well as star garland on some pipe cleaner or pliable wire, if you want something sturdier, then size to fit your child’s head. To add a bit of flare, try adding flowers in patriotic colors around the crown base. For instructions and suggestions for where to purchase the materials click here.
Nothing says 4th Of July has arrived like fireworks, and these poppers are a definite kid friendly option that are sure to cause excitement. To create these poppers, you will need toilet paper rolls, balloons, tape, confetti, and anything you would like to use to decorate the outside of the tube. Children (and adults) can customize their poppers however they like before filling with confetti and popping them for a delightful confetti surprise. I would definitely recommend popping them outside as the confetti is sure to make a mess, but also bring plenty of joy. Detailed instructions can be found here.
These paper lanterns are super easy to make and are very appealing to look at. Children who are old enough to use scissors will be able to enjoy creating these 4th of July lanterns. Similar to the other crafts, these lanterns can be customized to suit your child’s style so they can feel free to get creative with glitter, ribbon, and stickers depending on what they like. You can find the step-by-step instructions here.
This is a completely mess free craft for kids that is very creative. Since younger children can easily make a mess with paint, this parent blogger came up with a simple and inexpensive way to keep painting mess and worry free. Have your child create these adorable stars then stick them in a shoe box with a non-detachable lid. Then, take a plastic ball and dip it in paint before putting it in the shoe box, closing the lid, and shaking it around. This will keep the paint contained and adds a fun element to painting that children will enjoy. Here are the instructions to create this cute star art.
