4th of July Fine Motor Skills Activities for Preschoolers

Summer is usually filled with all things red, white, and blue for the 4th of July, so I put together some fun crafts and activities to keep little hands busy while strengthening those fine motor skills before school starts up in the fall!  This collection of Fourth of July activities is great for toddlers, preschoolers, Kindergarten, and/or early elementary kiddos!  There is some red, white, and blue fun for all ages!

Reading and math take a back seat during the summer months as we find ourselves enjoying the beautiful summer weather.  Don't get me wrong, we still do those things, but our school year "routine" flies out the window.

No weekly themes, no lesson plans-- just "flyin' by the seat of our pants so to speak.

However, we do still find time to make various crafts and art projects, which come in handy during the hot afternoons or after several days in the sun.  With the 4th of July coming soon, here is a collection of fun red, white, and blue activities for preschoolers, BUT I think kids of all ages will find something to make and/or do from this list.
