Simple 4th of July Craft for Kids

For the past few years, my daughters and I have had a lot of fun doing simple crafts and activities once a month with residents at a local assisted living facility.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to visit the residents since February this year because of COVID-19, but we are looking forward to the chance of visiting them again when we can.

Last July, we had the opportunity to create simple fireworks paintings with them using straws.

The residents seemed to really enjoy using a variety of bright colors – green, yellow, red, blue, and orange.

My daughters and I decided to try this craft again this year at home. They chose blue, white, red, and silver for paint colors.

You can check out all of the details of how we made these simple fireworks paintings using straws on Hands On As We Grow here if you would like.

May you have a wonderful day!

Baby’s First Years: A Three-Year Journal Now Available!

(This post contains affiliate links, which means I may make a small commission at no extra charge to you if you click on a link and make a purchase. Thank you!)

The Baby’s First Years: A Three-Year Journal is officially published.

Baby's First Year Three Year Journal

This journal would make a cute memory keepsake gift for an expecting parent or new parent.

Record short daily passages for baby’s first three years in this 6”x9” softcover journal. Each page is divided into three journal entries, one for each year that occurs on that page’s indicated date.

Write a couple of sentences documenting milestones, places visited, family activities, current events, or whatever else is on your mind. If you miss a day, just continue on whatever date it is. Great for the sleep-deprived new parent!

The back of the journal includes two pages to record special dates and an additional two pages to record any extra notes. More pictures of the Baby’s First Years: A Three-Year Journal can be found here.

I have already ordered one for an expecting mom. You can order your own Baby’s First Years: A Three-Year Journal here if you are interested.

Thank you for looking!
