Fun 4th of July Activities Your Kids Will Love

Posted on Jun 20, 2017

Independence Day is upon us! We all have different ways of celebrating, and we thought it would be fun to share our favorite activities we've seen for kids on this glorious day! Between crafts, recipes, outdoor activities and more, there's plenty of fun and affordable options to choose from.

1. Create some kid friendly desserts or drinks! Craftriver has a ton of great ideas for both dessert and drink recipes. Kids love helping out with baking, and we all know they love to eat!
2. Crafts! Have them draw with chalk on the sidewalk, or purchase some water color paints and tell them to draw out the meaning of 4th of July. It's affordable and will keep them entertained for hours. 
3. Take them to the local festivities. There's a huge parade happening this year in Waukesha with free ice cream and plenty of fun activities available for the kids; this is perfect for the whole family! 
4. Play games! Water balloons, playing under a sprinkler or 4th of July corhole are all easy set up options to keep them active. 

We hope everyone has a fantastic Independence Day weekend! Do you have any fun traditions or activities you like doing with your kids during the holiday? Let us know! And of course, don't forget to visit us at Monkey Joe's Waukesha this summer to stay cool and beat the heat and rain in the jungle!
