4th Of July Fun!

The fourth isn't just for fireworks! Take a look at some of the children's books we have available to help your little one learn a little more about Independence Day.


It’s the Fourth of July! Travel across the country for a city parade, a beach picnic, and fireworks in the park in this poetic celebration of the many cultures and traditions that make America’s birthday BOOM!









It's the most patriotic of all holidays-Independence Day! The Holiday Mice take part in all the activities that make the Fourth of July fun: a parade, a picnic, a baseball game and sack race, and a refreshing dip in the stream. Even Mr. Mouse, the littlest mouse's special toy, joins in the festivities. The best part of all comes at the end of the day: a spectacular fireworks show!
Packed with plenty of red, white, and blue and featuring the four Holiday Mice at their most adorable, this story about our nation's birthday will delight readers young and old alike.

Shocked that her parents are cooking Chinese food to sell in the family store on an all-American holiday, a feisty Chinese American girl tries to tell her mother and father how things really are. But as the parade passes by and fireworks light the sky, she learns a surprising lesson

It's the Fourth of July, and the people of Chatham know this is one parade they won't want to miss! A juggler and baton twirlers are the first to march down the street. Who will come next? There are cowboys on horses, the third-grade marching band, and everyone's favorite, Miss Eelgrass with the long green hair. Everyone is sorry when the parade is over, but wait! There is something else to look at-way up in the sky. 

CRAFT:

 I love this idea! Have your child make their own fireworks! Get some paper coffee filters and let them drawn on them with markers or use water color paints. Next have them cut to the center, but not all the way through. When they are done they can glue them to construction paper and add some glitter.

Kids in the Kitchen!!

 Kids love to cook, so why not let them help with this simple and healthy snack! Pick up some berries, bananas, and skewers and let your child help you put them together after all the fruit has been cut up.
