3 Easy And Fun Fourth Of July Treats And Crafts To Do With Your Kiddos!

1. White Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Sticks

Ingredients:

1 bag Pretzel rods, or strawberries, or regular pretzels. Whatever your heart desires to be covered in chocolate!

1 package of Vanilla Candiquir. Or any form of melted chocolate.

Blue sprinkles

Red frosting or decorating syrup

Melt your chocolate then begin dipping in your items.

Place chocolate covered treat on wax or plastic wrap surface.

I highly suggest immediately sprinkling treats with the blue sprinkles as soon as you put them on the wax surface so they stick to the chocolate before it hardens.

Decorate with red frosting or syrup.

2. Salt Painting!

Seriously this craft was so simple and so fun! It was fun for the kiddos and I to watch the salt instantly take in the watercolor paint and watch the color spread!

Supplies needed:

Black paper

Elmers Glue or Glue of any kind

Salt

Watercolor paint

Take the glue and make your own version of fireworks

Pour salt all over the wet glue

Take watercolor paint and dab onto the salt.

Watch the magic happen!

3. Red, White, and Blue Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons butter x3

4 Cups Rice Krispies x3

1 Bag of marshmallows x3

Red and Blue food coloring

Melt the butter in the microwave and then add bag of marshmallows and put in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds.

Add rice krispies and stir!

This will be your white batch, set this aside and then do the entire process over again only adding red food coloring to the second batch and blue food coloring to the third.

On a metal cookie sheet stretch out the blue on the bottom, white in the middle, red on top. This may be sticky but that's part of the fun!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
