•  Write a letter to the girl from the beast and tell her what she could have done differently to respect the beast.

Thank You to Military Letter 

Independence Day is a great time to say thank you to our military. Write a letter to say thank you to an Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine unit located in your local area. Include some red, white, and blue artwork or drawings to share!

Red, White, Blue Color Mashup

Explore color mixing with red, white, and blue nontoxic paints. Place one color in each corner of a piece of paper. With your brush, pick up a little of one color and place it in the middle of your paper. Then take a little of another color and combine with the first color. What happened? Combine two different colors in another section. Finally, combine all three colors. What did you notice?

Parade Float

Everyone loves a parade! Host your own July 4th “parade” using a wagon or other wheeled toy. Decorate the wagon like a parade float (use recycled pieces of colored paper. You may want to use patriotic colors of red, white and blue. Tape to the wagon and add messages with USA-inspired themes).

I am a Star!

Using the star template, write your child’s name in one of the stars. Place it on their bedroom door, toy shelf, or another space that is theirs. Children often learn to recognize the letters in their own name first, so labeling items that belong to them is a purposeful way to introduce their name.  

Independence Day Dough

Divide white modeling dough into 3 separate bowls. Add blue food coloring to one bowl and red to another bowl (leave the third bowl white). Mix until the dough is evenly colored. Then mix the 3 colors of dough together. What happens?

Practice marching in different directions for your July 4th “parade” with Percy! As you march, lift your knees up high and look forward. Can you march backward and sideways, too?  

Star Patterns

Using the star template, cut out the stars. Make simple A, B patterns by coloring stars using two different colors (example: red, blue, red, blue).
