4th of July crafts to do with the kiddies..

I've been collecting ideas of fun things to do with the kids.  Lately, I've found myself attracted to any idea that involves the 4th of July - good timing, I guess.  Here are a few really cute (and super simple + inexpensive) ideas.  

First up..."sparklers" from make and takes

(all the 'how-to' is on the site)

Another great idea is from from glitter to gumdrops

I actually made some (to practice) and it turned out better than I expected.  

I got my supplies from US Toy (if you live in my area) & the star mold from JoAnn's 

I am lovin' this idea from Under The Table and Dreaming - it's on my 'to-do' list!

Here is a cute idea from Skip To My Lou 

(there are several other great crafts on this site too)

One last super cute idea (I'm already working on this one).  

From Family Fun, check out this robot!

I'll be on the look-out for more crafty ideas....

Stay tuned for some 4th of July inspired treats (meaning - eats)
