4th of July kids' activities

4th of July Crafts

If you have an art-loving kiddo, having some great 4th of July crafts on hand as you celebrate the holiday is sure to be a hit. We love this large coloring activity that your kids can work on during the day and that can then be enjoyed as a tablecloth come dinner time. This patriotic dream catcher craft is another one of the 4th of July activities we know craft-loving kids will have fun with next week. A patriotic paint by sticker book is a 4th of July activity a slightly older child will find entertaining and challenging (in a good way!).

4th of July Games & More

Let’s talk about some more ways to keep your kids busy on the 4th of July with some great activities. First of all, start the day off with some patriotic 4th of July temporary tattoos. They’ll love them in the sunshine…but they’ll really have a blast when the temporary tattoos glow in the dark come evening!

Another good activity for next week would be a round or two of 4th of July bingo. And then when your kids are ready to get some major energy out, send them into the yard to enjoy this awesome 4th of July jumbo sprinkler ball. Yes, the sprinkler ball is red, white, and blue, but that won’t stop your kids from making it a go-to outdoor activity all summer long!

Oh, and if you’re looking for a really child-safe activity for the evening, when some older kids and adults are setting off fireworks, have these light-up fiber optic wands on hand. They’ll have a blast with them, you’ll have peace of mind, and the kids can enjoy them well beyond the 4th of July, too!

4th of July Outfits

If you love to dress your kids in holiday-themed outfits, we’ve rounded up a few adorably festive 4th of July outfits to consider! Hunting for a 4th of July dress? We suggest this one, this one, or this one! Oh, and this 4th of July jumpsuit is too cute! We also love this shorts outfit, and this All American Dude 4th of July outfit is sure to be a winner, too!

Meanwhile, if you have a baby to dress for the 4th of July, this onesie, this two-piece option, and this romper are some super cute 4th of July baby outfits to consider!

4th of July Pajamas

After a day of fun celebrating the 4th of July, put your kids patriotically to bed in a pair of 4th of July PJs. Might we recommend this popsicle pair, this fireworks-themed set, this classic striped option, or this breathable red, white, and blue set?

No matter what outfits your kiddos wear or what activities you participate in on the 4th of July, we hope you have a wonderful day celebrating the USA!
