Crafts

A great way for kids and parents to celebrate the holiday is by having a Fourth of July Parade. Let the children decorate their bikes, wagons, big wheels, and themselves to march down the street or sidewalk. Make sure there is plenty of adult supervision especially if they parade down the side of a street. When my children were young we lived on a cul-de-sac. Most of the families on that street had young children so it worked out great for everyone.

Below are several sites with ideas on decorating bikes and/or the children. It doesn’t have to cost much. Use items you already have around the house, a few store bought craft supplies, and a whole lot of imagination and fun!

Don’t forget the red, white, and blue balloons. They always make a parade fun!

If you have ideas for a parade please let me know. I’ll share them with all my readers.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s a chance to tell the special people in your life how much they mean to you. Sometimes we are so caught up in our daily lives that we forget to express our love for each other. Some people have a hard time saying those three small, but oh so important words – “I Love You”.

Below are several websites loaded with crafts, recipes, and other ideas to help you and your children say those words. You can buy cards or you can make them yourself. You can buy candy and other food gifts or you can make some cookies with your children. It’s up to you.

The important thing is to spend time with your loved ones. Tell them in words, verbal or written, how much they mean to you. Be sure to check out these sites for lots of ideas.
