20+ Fun Fourth Of July Crafts For Kids

One fun way to celebrate the 4th of July is with some red, white, and blue crafts! Grab the kids and get busy with some patriotic fourth of July crafts for kids!

In our family, we have a Fourth of July tradition and what it is just may surprise you.

It’s not a having a big party.

It’s not having a cook out.

We spend the 4th of July at…Waterworld! It’s our local water park, and we spend most of the day having a blast in the water, riding all the rides. We’ve done this for several years now, and it’s a super fun tradition that every one of us really looks forward to doing.

But after we get home from a day of fun in the sun, we’re pooped! The sun is draining! So we take a little downtime before having dinner and deciding whether we feel up to battling more crowds to see fireworks.

Crafts are perfect for periods of downtime, so I’ve been a busy bee gathering amazing Fourth of July Crafts for kids of all ages to do. I hope you love them!
