Two little girls making July Fourth crafts

Holidays are super exciting, especially when you have toddlers. It's fun to decorate for upcoming holidays, and an enjoyable way to dress up the house is with kids' crafts. Toddlers love to get creative, and crafts are a wonderful way to get fine motor skills working in those little hands. Of course, crafts can get messy, but here are six simple Fourth of July crafts for toddlers and preschoolers that won't leave a glitter trail all over the house, and it will look festive and patriotic for Independence Day.

Easy Fourth of July crafts for the toddler and preschool set
If you have toddlers and preschoolers, keeping a stash of arts and crafts materials around the house is extremely helpful on rainy days or when holidays are on the horizon. Dollar stores and online deals are a budget-friendly way to have a supply of construction paper, yarn, streamers, paper plates, lanyards, and other goodies to use for arts and crafts projects. Get a jump on your red, white, and blue Fourth of July decorations with these fun arts and crafts projects.
Sponge painting
Finger painting can get messy, but if you cut up sponges and attach a clothespin to each one, it cuts down on the paint-filled hands. A fun Fourth of July project is to let kids sponge paint with red, white, and blue washable paint. Kids can let their creative juices flow on paper plates or finger paint paper. The paper plates can be hung up as a decoration by punching a hole and using red or blue yarn.
Patriotic sand art
A great use for those empty baby food jars is sand art. Give it a patriotic flair by using red, white, and blue craft sand. All you need is clean, dry baby food jars with lids and a spoon. Place the jars on a paper plate for easy cleanup and put the sand into plastic bowls. Kids use the spoon to scoop in the sand alternating between the colors to make a patriotic pattern. Little ones may want to mix up the colors for an eclectic look, which is fine, too.

Still, not all ab exercises are safe when you are expecting, so you will want to be extra cautious and listen to your body at all times.
