Weary Parent: Parenting Tweens & Teens

Camp Weary Parent July 4th Party

by char on July 4th, 2008

Celebrate July 4th today with Camp Weary Parent! I have a variety of ideas to make the day fun with kids of all ages!

Put on a parade!

Gather up all the kids in the neighborhood and decorate the bikes, scooters, and strollers with Red, White and Blue PBicycle Streamers, flags, and other patriotic decorations.  Line everyone up and take a tour of the neighborhood - guaranteed to make everyone get in the patriotic spirit.

Play Games!

Use red, white and blue water balloons and have a water balloon fight or races!  Want more water fun? Check out our favorite water games for kids from our splash party post.

Star-Spangled Snacks!

Have fun with a container of red, white and blue sprinkles (jimmies) and create some yummy treats.

  • Take pretzel rods and dip them in melted white chocolate chips then roll them in the patriotic jimmies for the ultimate safe sparkler.
  • Dip one side of your graham crackers in the white chocolate and then in the sprinkles before making star spangled s’mores this evening.
  • Bake a batch of refrigerator cookies with the red, white and blue chips (Pillsbury makes them) then place a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two of the cookies for a rocking ice cream sandwich.
  • Make a fruit salad of strawberries, blueberries and watermelon. Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping, white chocolate mousse, white chocolate pudding or angel food cake.
  • Make fruit sparklers by threading strawberries and blue berries on skewers with squares of angel food cake.

Be safe!

Don’t forget to check out Christine’s fire works safety tips, pack (and use) the sunscreen, and have fun today!

Stop in Monday as we start a new week with a new Camp Weary Parent theme! Did you miss some of our activities so far? No worries, we’ve put them all on one page for you to refer to.
