Today we are doing a simple, but fun, paper 4th of July craft for kids. Kids of all ages will have a blast making a craft that could honestly double as a card. Younger kids and older kids alike will be able to do this patriotic craft with relative ease. And it only takes a few budget-friendly art supplies to make.
4th of July Craft
Independence Day is upon us and that means celebrating our great country, the United States! The best part is, it’s the USA’s 250th birthday this year! My family tends to do it up right with parades, cook outs, swimming, games, fireworks. But this Independence Day craft is a patriotic way to do that.
Plus, I donโt know about your kiddos, but mine after a full day of celebrating and eating need something a little relaxing and quiet to do until fireworks. So without further ado, let’s make this 4th of July craft!

Our Experience With This 4th of July Craft
We love Independence day in my house. Fireworks, swimming, grilling, treats. It’s the best. We live in a great country and we love celebrating it.
I want my kids to enjoy celebrating the wonderful nation we live in. Yes, it isn’t perfect, but it’s still wonderful. And that’s why I made this craft. It’s an easy way to celebrate and all kids could be involved. Grant it, for the little ones I had to help, but that’s okay, because it was a family endeavor and that is what’s most important.
I hope your kids enjoy making this 4th of July craft and hope you all have a safe Independence day!
