We even threw in some cute outfit ideas, so your child can shine as bright as the red, white, and blue fireworks this year!

How do you make 4th of July fun for kids?

Keep plans flexible

No stuffy car rides this year! Keeping holiday plans somewhat open-ended is a low-pressure way to keep things fun and lighthearted. Grab your little ones and pick from our list of 4th of July crafts and games for kids that will make this holiday one to remember!

Craft!

Patriotic Windsock

Patriotic Windsock is an engaging craft your kids will love. You also don't need much for it. Any old red, white, and blue fabric with scraps of ribbon will do just fine. Wrap the pieces around a 6" Embroidery Hoop, and voila! With these simple materials, your kids will have a fun 4th of July, and you'll have a special flag hanging by your door.

Fourth of July Bracelets

Kids love to get busy making their own stuff. These patriotic-themed bracelets help your child practice their fine motor skills, too! Grab some plastic pony beads and string together the fun with your child this 4th of July.

Watercolor American Flag

What a spectacular stars and stripes flag! Gather some paper, tape, a spray bottle, stickers, and red and blue watercolor paint. When you have all your materials ready, adults can help create an outline of the flag with a stencil and let the kids splatter on the fun!

Kid friendly food

Hot Dogs

Hot dogs are the unofficial Fourth of July snack. It wouldn't be summer without kids and hot dogs!

Fries

French fries are a kid's salty go-to. The tasty flavor triggers feel-good memories and should be washed down with your favorite kid-friendly beverage!

Hamburgers

Both kids and adults love the smell of barbeque. Fire up the grill this holiday; these tasty entrées are a simple clean-up.

What games are played on the 4th of July?

4th of July Scavenger Hunt

How to play

We love this 4th of July game for kids! Gather the family & friends on this one and set out on a patriotic scavenger hunt. Perfect for a backyard or neighborhood, you can hide USA-themed items like mini flags or anything red, white, and blue for a fun-filled day with the whole family.

Flag hunt!

How to play

This is a much simpler version of a 4th of July Scavenger Hunt. Hide a dozen or more small American flags around the backyard and send the kids off for fun and finders keepers!

Water balloon fight!

How to play

Gather the kids for a fun-filled day of splashes in the hot summer sun. 

Fill your backyard or any large area with water balloons (we recommend each person has 25 each at minimum) and place water guns in the middle of your battlefield. 

Ensure that there are small buckets of water at different locations so players can fill their balloons as they run out of water.

Capture the flag

How to play

Divide players into two even teams, each having a patriotic flag placed at "home base." Your kid will absolutely love trying to sneak the other team's flag back to their home base without getting caught!

"Jail" can be created with a soccer or lacrosse net, so entering enemy territory and getting tagged means you're in jail until a teammate bails you out. The whole family will be tuckered out by the end of this game!

Corn hole

How to play

Divide the players into groups and compete to toss the most bags in the hole. The first team or player to reach 21 points exactly is the winner of the game. If you go over, you go back down to 13 points and proceed as usual.

This 4th of July game for kids is fun and will keep them occupied for hours!

What to wear on the 4th of July

 

Short Sleeve American Flag Dress

Perfect for your backyard parties, this cute short-sleeved flag dress is made from soft, breathable fabric for no sweats and all sparkles this holiday.

American Dude Patriotic Short Set 

Your little dude will be looking cool in this! This patriotic top and short set  is all stars, stripes and breathable comfort. 

To make the 4th of July more fun for your kids, involve them in the decision-making process. Let them help choose their games, food, and what to wear. What better way to celebrate their independence - and the independence of our beloved America!

It's swimsuit season, baby and you know what that means? Another gorgeous opportunity to match with your little one! You'll be the cutest couple on the beach with fun, summery designs that are sweet and modest and adorable all at the same time. From your classic frills and high waists to matching one pieces, there's something that every little one can love that will look ah-mazing on you.

What to look for in mommy and me swimsuits

When looking for mommy and me swimsuits - whether for the pool, the beach, or just backyard fun with the hose - you need to be aware of a couple of things.

Where are you wearing your matching swimsuits?

Where you wear your swimsuit matters! If you're wearing it to the pool, obviously there's less impact from waves and other elements (although, some kiddos take their cannonballs and water games very seriously!) If you're opting for the pool, here's your chance to wear something super cute - Think fun, frilly, two pieces that are oh-so cute. Headed to the beach? Try out a one piece - perfect for active little ones that love to body surf, make sandcastles, and dive like a dolphin. No fear of slippage for mom either - our one-piece mommy and me swimsuits are secure and will have you looking so cute to match.

Classic colors always work best!

We're a big fan of choosing your own style, and a lot of our styles for our mommy and me swimsuits are classic, without looking too mature for your little one, and not too childish for you. We recommend opting for classic color schemes to keep your style front and center. But you can always opt for something completely fun and out of the box - You do you, mamma!

Easy sunscreen application

Any outside time means sunscreen! Look for swimsuits that make it easy to apply sunscreen for you and your little one. No one likes the process, so the least you can do is make it as easy as possible. Look for swimsuits with easy-to-move straps and minimal decorative lace (you don't want to miss a spot!)

Do your kids love playing in the garden? If so, turn playtime into a productive hobby by teaching your kids how to grow things. You can start by getting fast-growing seeds for kids and showing your children how to raise the plants.

Don't have a garden? No worries. You can start this fun kid’s hobby with potted indoor plants.

Why Grow Your Own Plants?

Showing your kids how to grow plants is an excellent way to teach them responsibility. The skill can also put your kids on the path toward being self-sufficient and eco-friendly. Other benefits of teaching your kids to grow plants are:

Fun Bonding with Your Kid

Working with your kids in a garden can help you escape the distractions of TVs and mobile devices so that you can bond with your children. Use the opportunity to converse with your kids, learn their preferences and aspirations, and understand them better.

Teach Them the Beauty of Taking Care of Something

Growing and taking care of plants can help your kids experience the joy of growing something beautiful with their hands. The hobby can also teach your kids to appreciate hard work and give them the satisfaction that comes from watching your efforts yield something beautiful.

What You Need to Grow Your Own Plants Successfully

The first thing you will need is some fast-growing seeds for kids. Once you have your seeds, you can start growing them with these items:

Proper Soil

Potting soil is ideal for growing plants in pots. The soil is typically soft to help the plant germinate quickly. Potting soil should also have high moisture retention to ensure that the plant stays hydrated as it grows. You can create your own potting soil by mixing garden soil with compost or buying ready-to-use potting soil.

Pots with the Right Drainage

Your potting soil will go into pots for planting the seeds. Plastic, clay, and other types of plant pots are available in various sizes and shapes. However, only go for a planting pot with good drainage at the bottom. Otherwise, water will accumulate within the pot and drown the growing plant.

Positive Attitude and Some Sunshine

Plants need sunlight to grow, so make sure your kids place their potted plants where they will get lots of sunlight. Also, nurturing plants requires commitment, consistency, and a positive mindset. If your kids don’t approach growing plants with the right attitude, their plants may have short lives.

You can buy all of the above items individually or save money by buying a kid's plant growing kit that contains everything your young gardener needs to get started.

5 Perfect Plants to Grow with Your Kids

Below are some easy plants to grow indoors or outdoors with your kids:

Succulents

Succulents are among the top easy plants for kids to grow because they require minimal care and watering (once a week). Examples of succulents are cactus and aloe plants with fleshy leaves and stems. Your kids can grow these plants indoors or outdoors in pots, but they need to be careful of the plant's prickly edges.

Nasturtium

 

Nasturtium is a hassle-free and colorful flower that grows best in areas with lots of sunlight. Planting it requires sprinkling some seeds in potting soil and adding some water. The plant will flower within 35 to 50 days after germination, and nasturtiums can flower throughout summer.

Sunflowers

 

Growing sunflowers from seeds is a popular gardening project for kids because the flower blooms beautifully with minimal effort. After planting the seeds in spring or early summer, water the soil, and the seed will germinate within one to two weeks. Flowers should bloom after two months, but note that since sunflowers quickly grow, they need regular watering to grow healthy.

Lamb’s Ears

 

Lamb's ears are another potted plant that requires minimal effort. Even with irregular watering or low-quality soil, the plant will still flourish. However, if you want it to grow fast, use rich soil. Depending on the specie of lamb's ears you plant, you may see purple, red, white, or pink flowers during bloom.

Marigold Flowers

Marigold flowers are edible flowers with a pretty yellow-orange color. Your child can grow it in an indoor pot or outdoors in the garden. Since the flower naturally repels pests, you will not need pesticides.

Outdoor adventures are excellent for helping your child socialize and appreciate nature. The exercise can also help your little one develop their motor skills, mental acuity, and muscle strength. Lastly, while outdoors, your children can get lots of vitamin D from the sun, which they need to develop a strong immune system and healthy bones.

One of the best ways to get your kids to go outdoors is to plan park adventures. To help you plan a park adventure that your little ones will love and want more of, we’ve created a list of park activities for kids to try during your outing.

Fun Things to Do at the Park

Outdoor Art Projects

Take drawing materials with you to the park so that your kids can create artworks of what they see. Motivating your kids to create outdoor art will fuel their creativity and help them better appreciate the beauty of nature. Here are some fun outdoor art ideas to try with your kids.

Fly a Kite

Kite flying is a fun hobby that most kids find irresistible. You can make the activity more fun and educative by teaching your kids how to build customized kites. Seeing their creation soar through the air can boost your child’s self-esteem and make the activity even more pleasurable.

Photograph Mother Nature

One of the best park activities for kids is exploring nature. You can immortalize the outing by providing your kids with a camera for capturing their favorite places. However, don’t forget to pack lots of water and snacks for your hike and dress your children in comfortable hiking clothes and shoes.

Go Hunting for Treasure

If your child is the energetic and curious type, take them on a treasure hunt. You can set up this activity by telling your child to find and retrieve items in the park, such as specific colored flowers or rocks. Alternatively, you could hide items around the park and provide your little treasure hunter with clues on how to find the hidden items.

Play Hide-n-Seek

Parks generally offer lots of hiding spots for playing hide-n-seek. Getting your kids to play hide-n-seek is also an effective way to get them to explore the park on their own. However, before the game starts, set ground rules regarding how far your kids can go to hide or seek and hiding places to avoid.

Have a Picnic

After an activity-filled day at the park, settle down for a beautiful picnic with your family. You can have your lunch on a picnic blanket spread on the grass or on the benches provided by the park. Some parks even allow visitors to bring in grills for barbecuing. After your meal, don’t forget to dispose of your trash correctly.

Adorable and Comfortable Tops for All Your Park Adventures

A trip to the beach is one of the fastest ways to put smiles on your kids' faces. Your children can build castles in the sand, play in the waves, and enjoy several other activities.

The celebration commemorates the biblical legend of Jesus resurrecting three days after sacrificing himself to save the world. Even though it’s a Christian holiday, non-Christians also celebrate Easter. In fact, the holiday has grown to incorporate non-Christian practices like celebrating the egg-laying Easter bunny.

Do you have tweens or teenagers that think Easter is boring? If so, you have the power to turn things around and make Easter more entertaining. Keep reading to discover several fun Easter games for kids that can keep your family entertained throughout the holiday. The best part – you can set up most of these games with items you already have at home.

Easter Games You Need to Try 

Here are eight Easter ideas that guarantee a fun time with your loved ones:

Easter Egg Hunt

Egg hunting is one of the most popular Easter games for kids, and Americans have played it since the 1800s. The classic egg hunt involves hiding painted eggs in different locations and having kids with baskets hunt for them.

You can set up this fun game in your yard or indoors. Alternatively, you could go to a park if you’ve run out of hiding places at home and have lots of kids. Materials you will need to set up an Easter egg hunt include:

  • Eggs
  • Baskets or bags for each player
  • Hiding spots

You can use hardboiled eggs and paint them bright colors for the game, or you could make the egg hunt more exciting by using plastic eggs filled with candy. Also, you should count the eggs and hide them in places that will challenge your children without jeopardizing their safety. The game ends when someone finds the last egg!

Spoon and Egg Race

The egg and spoon race is a fun game that can help your children improve their balance, focus, and athleticism. The game involves giving each participant a spoon with an egg in it. The participants must then rush to the end of the course without dropping the egg. The winner will be the first player to complete the course without dropping the egg.

While the spoon and egg race typically appears on lists of Easter games for kids, adults can also participate. The items needed to set up a spoon and egg race include:

  • A spoon for each participant
  • An egg for each participant
  • A race course (a simple stretch of grass or a quiet culdesac)

You can play this game indoors or outdoors with plastic or real eggs. If you choose to use real eggs, hard boil them first to prevent messes when a contestant drops an egg.

Easter Egg Toss

The egg toss is a straightforward yet fun Easter game played with plastic eggs filled with water or confetti. If you have an even number of kids, split them into two teams facing each other. Give each kid on one side an egg and have them toss it to the kid directly opposite them.

Each duo must toss their egg back and forth without dropping it. Dropping the egg will lead to elimination, and the winners will be the last duo standing without dropping the egg.

If you have an odd number of players, form a circle and have the players toss an egg around. Dropping the egg will eliminate a player, and the game will keep going until one player remains.

Egg Push Race

Egg push races are just as amusing to play as they are to watch. Line up your players and lay an egg on the ground in front of each participant. Each player will roll their egg to the finish line with their nose or chin, and the winner will be the player who crosses the finish line first.

Jelly Bean Bingo

Jelly Bean Bingo is the perfect Easter game for kids with a sweet tooth. The game is similar to regular bingo. However, instead of marking cards with a pen, players will mark cards with a jelly bean. You will need a bowl of jelly beans and printed jelly bean bingo cards to play the game.

Shuffle the cards and place them on the table facing downwards. Each player will get a bingo board and a handful of jelly beans. After picking a random card and showing or saying the picture, the players will place a jelly bean on the corresponding picture on their board. The first player to get four in a row wins. You can download jelly bean bingo cards here.

Get Ready for Easter with stepankorchagin

With so many fun Easter games for kids at your disposal, there’s no reason you and your family can’t have a good time during your next Easter holiday. You have games for kids of all ages, and you can try many of the game ideas at home or outdoors if your family would rather spend Easter in the sun.

https://stepankorchagin.com/blogs/sip-blog/fun-may-day-crafts 2022-03-01T15:52:35-07:00 2022-12-05T06:21:59-07:00 Easy and Fun Crafts for May Day Tiffany Larsen

May Day is a traditional holiday that celebrates the end of winter and the arrival of spring. The celebration takes place on May 1st, and revelers in most countries celebrate by singing, dancing, gifting, and eating tasty treats.

Make your next May 1st more memorable by celebrating it with your family and creating May Day crafts that you can treasure for a long time. Do you need help coming up with crafts for May Day? If so, check out some fun options that adults and kids can enjoy below. 

May Day Baskets

May Day baskets are among the oldest and most beloved May Day crafts for kids. Traditionally, building May Day baskets involved gathering spring flowers, such as lilac, magnolia, buttercups, and primroses, and placing them in a basket with sweets.

People would anonymously leave the baskets on the doorsteps of neighbors or loved ones and run away. Go all out by giving your kids baskets to paint and fill with flowers, cookies, candies, and other gifts for the recipient.

Finger Paint Flowers

Finger painting flowers is an excellent way to bond with your kids, explore their artistic side, and celebrate May Day. Unlike painting with a brush, finger painting involves dipping your digits in paint and using them to create art on your canvas. It is messy, but it’s also a fun way to spend May Day indoors with the kids.

Items you will need for finger painting flowers include:

  • Finger Paint: Unlike regular paint, finger paint should be slightly thicker and non-toxic. Make sure that you buy finger paint that says washable on the label. Otherwise, you may have a hard time cleaning up afterward.
  • Waterproof Apron: Wearing a waterproof apron will prevent splashing paint from ruining your clothes. Alternatively, you could wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting stained.
  • Canvas: You will need heavy, thick, and non-absorbent paper for finger painting. The paper should go on a smooth and wide surface that you can easily clean afterward.
  • Cleaning Materials: While painting, keep soapy water, sponges, and a towel close by for cleaning up.

May Day Jars

May Day jars are like May Day baskets, but instead of a basket, your flowers will go into a mason jar. You and your kids can customize the jar by painting its sides and lettering on May Day well-wishes. Alternatively, you can paint and write your greetings on paper and attach it to the jar.

After building your jar, you can drop it on the doorstep of a loved one, ring the doorbell, and run off before they can catch you. To create a May Day jar, you will need:

  • A mason jar or any other jar with a lip
  • Ribbon or twine
  • Flowers
  • Scissors
  • Paper or card

Start making your May Day jar by cleaning it and tying your ribbon or twine around the jar lip. Leave a large loop that will serve as your handle, then paint the jar or use some ribbon to attach your greeting card to it. Pour some water into the jar before putting in your colorful flowers, and you have a cute May Day jar that’s ready for delivery!

Pipe Cleaner Flowers

If flowers don’t grow around your home or you can’t get real flowers for any other reason, celebrate May Day by making cute pipe cleaner flowers. You will need:

  • Scissors
  • A hot glue gun
  • A small planter
  • Floral arrangement foam
  • Various colors of pipe cleaners, including green
  • Some soil

Click here for a step-by-step guide for creating different types of flowers with pipe cleaners.

Flower Necklaces

Flower necklaces or leis are an excellent choice if you want wearable crafts for May Day. You will need:

  • Scissors
  • Construction paper or flowers
  • Yarn
  • Needle
  • Beads

Cut enough yarn to make a necklace that can hang loosely around your neck. If you have real flowers, remove the stems and attach one end of your yarn to a needle. Pass the needle through the center of your flowers until you’ve added enough flowers to create a necklace.

Alternatively, make your necklace with construction paper by cutting the paper into flower shapes and punching a hole in the center of each flower. Make a knot at one end of your yarn and add six beads. String on your paper flowers until your yarn is almost full, then add six more beads and tie a knot to stop the beads from falling off. Tie the two ends of the yarn together, and you have your beautiful lei.

May Day Cones

Instead of a May Day basket or jar, your kids can build a cone and fill it with flowers to gift their favorite people. To build a May Day cone, you will need:

  • Plain or colored paper
  • Ribbon
  • Transparent tape
  • Flowers
  • Hole punch
  • Scissors

If you have plain paper, your kids can beautify it by painting it with spring colors. Cut the paper into a 12 by 12-inch square and fold it into a cone. Use your tape to hold the cone in place and punch holes around the cone’s edge. Fit your ribbon through the holes to create a handle and fill the cone with your beautiful flowers.

Are You Ready for May Day?

Now that you know the best May Day crafts for kids, you can be sure your little ones will have a fun and memorable time every May 1st. Just as important, your kids need to look their best when they go out on May Day.

At Sparkle in Pink, we offer various comfortable and adorable spring clothing and fashion accessories for stylish girls of all sizes. Visit our online store today to view our collections and upgrade your princess’ wardrobe.
