July 4TH Balloon Pop Garland

Here is an idea that really POPS! I created this balloon pop activity for kids to partake in during your 4th of July festivities. All you need to create these for your little brood are small toys, candy, glitter and star shaped confetti.

Here's a tip: Create a funnel using the top of a water bottle. Just cut with a pair of scissors and place the balloon around the bottle opening and fill!

Using clear balloons, I filled each one with my 'filler' and then blew them up and tied them around a length of twine. You can hang the balloons up and make the garland. Another idea is to attach to straws or small sticks just for fun.

The fun part is getting to pop each balloon. Make sure you supervise little ones with this part. You simply take a sharp pin and POP!

This is such a fun and interactive twist on the average party garland. You can fill a balloon with so many different items and use this idea for other celebrations!

{July 4th Ideas} Patriotic Fruit Pizza

I love fruit pizza and so do the kids! There are so many ways to make them and the possibilities are endless! Here's a fun idea we whipped up for a Patriotic fruit pizza.

So, in my mind fruit pizza is super easy and kids love it! All you need is-

Sugar Cookie Dough - I like Pillsbury, but I'm sure your own recipe is fine. You can also try puff pastry or brownie mix as your pizza 'crust.'
Some type of cream to spread over the cookie once it's baked. - we use a vanilla frosting or Marshmallow fluff because the Mini Diva has dairy allergies, but you can mix a pack of cream cheese with sour cream or yogurt and use it as a spread or try my favorite fruit dip.
Fruit - sliced, diced or chopped- any fruit is fine, but since we're celebrating our great nation's holiday, I went with strawberries and blueberries!

Then follow these steps -
