4th of July Crafts

It doesn’t always have to be the holidays to celebrate the flag. You can create these just because, for a Girl Scout project, or on one of the president’s birthdays too. Here are a bunch of easy patriotic crafts to choose from.

We hope you love our patriotic crafts for kids that are great for Fourth of July, Memorial Day or just for fun celebrating the red white and blue.

• This Fourth of July American Flag Craft is something we made with egg cartons and is a fun way to create the stars and strips on the flag.
• For an edible decoration you should make our red white and blue desserts, the strawberries are always the most popular.
• My kids love making these Fourth of July pretzels too while listening to the star spangled banner on the radio.
