I’m in a July 4th frenzy right now!  Is anyone else?
 
My kids (and I) are very excited about the festivities this week. 
 

Here is an easy craft that I did with them to help get ready for the celebration.

 

 

 
MATERIALS

 

Red and blue tempera paint
 
Pipe cleaners
 
White cardstock
 

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Twist your pipe cleaners together to form a firecracker shape.  Make a “handle” at the top for the kids to hold onto.
 
Dip the pipe cleaners into red and blue paint.
 

Stamp the pipe cleaners onto the white cardstock.

 

 

That’s it!  Simple, quick and worthy of the fridge!

 

 

 

 
What crafts are you doing with your kids to celebrate this holiday?
