Give
children brightly colored plastic cups.
They can insert the cups in a chain link fence to make designs,
patterns, or words.
*Red,
white, and blue cups are festive for the 4th of July.
Fire
Cracker Sandwich
You
will need:
Bread
Peanut butter, jelly, or
other favorite sandwich filling
Clear plastic wrap
Yarn or ribbon
Cut
the crusts off the bread. Flatten
the bread with a rolling pin. (The
children just like to "smush" it with their hand.) Spread on your sandwich filling. Roll up tightly like a jelly roll. Wrap in a piece of plastic wrap. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap and
tie with a piece of ribbon. It
will look like a firecracker!
Here's the fire cracker sandwich K.J. made for lunch.
Parade
Everybody
loves a parade! Decorate riding
toys and wagons with tissue paper, signs, and streamers. Play some good marching music and off
you go!
