Family Fun

Dear Parents,

Celebrate Independence Day with patriotic family activities, delicious holiday recipes for your grill, and July Fourth arts and crafts for the kids.

Printables are another great way to enjoy the holiday. Print out your own American flag, learn to make an egg carton Uncle Sam, and get instructions to make your own patriotic attire.

Finally, browse the Activities Center for fun summertime outdoor activities.
