Family-Friendly Fourth of July Weekend Activities

Looking for fun local things to do this Fourth of July weekend? Then you’re in the right spot! We’ve put together a list of local and at-home things for you and your family to do this holiday weekend!

At Home DIY's, Activities & Treats

Red, White, And Blue “Tie Dye”

A fun way to cool off and make a keepsake on the Fourth is by filling water balloons with red and blue food coloring or red and blue paint. Wear white shirts (and any pants you don’t care if they get dyed) and have a “water balloon fight” like you normally would. As the balloons pop, they’ll leave a tie dye effect on the white shirts! 

Red, White, And Blue Strawberries 

This colorful treat makes a great addition to any Fourth of July celebration! You’ll need:



·        White Chocolate (either chips, chunks or bars)

·        Washed, Fresh Strawberries (either hulled or whole, your choice)

·        Small Blue Sprinkles

Add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals. In a second bowl, add the blue sprinkles. Then take your strawberries and dip the bottom half in the melted white chocolate and then into the blue sprinkles. Set them on a plate or cookie sheet covered with wax paper until your done dipping all the strawberries you want. Let them sit in the fridge to cool for about 5 minutes and congratulations you now have red, white, and blue strawberries! New Paragraph

DIY Patriotic Tic Tac Toe 

Using wood x’s and o’s from the craft store you can make your own DIY game. Paint them all with a white base coat, using tape mark off stripes. On one set, paint the stripes red and on the other paint them blue! When they are dry, remove the tape and you’re left with a patriotic tic tac toe set you can set up outside or indoors! 

These DIY’s, activities, and treats are a great way to spend this holiday weekend with your family and friends! Want more ideas? Check our Pinterest board with family friendly 4^th of July activities, here!
