If you want to keep your kids (and husband) busy for a while, you can try this cute craft we just did for the 4th.
I had seen these cute candy favors on ETSY and had all the stuff to make them, so we went at it for gifts for the cousins tomorrow.
All you need are some lolipop sticks or skewers and soft candy. I used mostly gummy candies. I also tried to just use red, white and blue for the 4th. It would be cute to do them to match birthday parties with different colors.
This is the one Paul made, actually one of the 10, he really got into it with the girls!
The sticks and bags we put them in cost $1.75 each at Walmart, I also got a bunch of the candy at CVS for B1G1 free this week.

This is the seller on ETSY, Sweets Indeed, where I saw them, I wanted to order some from her but it was too close to the 4th! They turned out really cute, she does a great job!
We packaged ours in little gift bags with ribbon tied around the top. On the ones for the girls we have little necklaces for the 4th to go with them, turned out really cute!
Do you have any cute crafts for the 4th?

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."

The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Those are adorable! I can imagine so many possibilities for birthdays, Halloween, Christmas, etc…!
I love this idea. Thanks.
I’m not clever enough to come up with ideas, but I’m totally stealing this one! Nice work.
These are adorable. They would be a great party favor too.
