4th Of July Fun

Need some ideas to keep the kids busy or entertained before that cook out or before the big boomers go off? Perhaps you want something fun they can do instead of playing with sparklers or other dangerous fireworks (which, in defense of sparklers everywhere, I must admit, we do them every year too :)...Here are a couple sites with some fun ideas :) Happy 4th Everyone and Happy Birthday America!!

The Idea Box 4th of July section

Family Fun-great site and great magazine!

FamilyEducation (lots of great ideas for all ages)
