July 4th Fun

Dramatic Play: Fireworks

Children love to play. Let them pretend to set off fireworks
and make all the explosion noises that go
along with them. They can pretend to set off giant or
tiny ones, whatever they want, and everyone
can get into the spirit and
wave imaginary sparklers around.

Pretzel Sparklers

Give children long pretzel rods.

Have them dip the top section in melted
white chocolate or white frosting.

Then, have them dip them into red
sugar crystals or sprinkles or other
candies on top.

They can wait until the chocolate is dry to eat
or they can eat them right away.

4th of July Strawberries!

Ingredients:

Fresh Strawberries, large and with stems
White Frosting or white chocolate
Blue Sprinkles or colored sugar

Take a large washed and dried strawberry
and hold it by the stem.

Dip the strawberry half way in melted
white chocolate.(If you don't have strawberries
with stems, use a fork to dip them into the
chocolate.)

Then quickly dip in blue sprinkles for a delicious
patriotic treat!!
