4th of July is coming and, although my king hasn't really been to a "real" 4th of July celebration, we always take it as a time to craft. Which I admit it really isn't surprising considering there's ALWAYS a reason to do arts and crafts. (◠ᴗ◕✿)
I have someone that tells me that sometimes a lot of crafts are for older kids so I put up this small round-up of craft ideas you can do with younger ones, like my awesome 2-year-old king. Personally, I'm one of those people that believes a messy kid is a sign of a kid that's been having fun, so yes...we get messy with some of these. Like I said, that's the fun part!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE handprint/footprint crafts, so I think these flags are super cute idea for Independence Day.

This is another flag but instead of handprint it uses sponge-printing. I don't have a star cookie cutter but you can use one to make the stars on the flag which would be easier than cutting a sponge I think. (◠ᴗ◕✿)

I found this poem and I think it's a nice addition to the flags.

If you do any of these, or any other crafts, this 4th of July I'd love to see what you and your babies have made!
