Red, White & Blue Crafts

Celebrate the 4th of July with some fun and easy red, white and blue crafts.

We love summer and these crafts are some of our favorites – especially because we can get the kids involved in so many of them.

Summer Lighthouses

This easy craft is fun to make and easy to customize. Take the kids to the library to learn more about lighthouses or go on a field trip and find one. We’ve made this craft simple and easy and it actually lights up. You can find the complete tutorial at Summer Lighthouses.
