In this article, I’ll share some of my favorite 4th of July recipes for kids. These patriotic recipes have the vibrant colors of red and blue to remind us of the occasion we’re celebrating.
My family started getting into the spirit of the 4th of July celebrations a few years after our kids were born.
We wanted to start a tradition we could pass down to them when they grew up. So we do the backyard BBQ and fireworks like everyone else.
But we also bake cookies and other patriotic recipes.
This all started when they got old enough and were interested in helping in the kitchen.
Let’s jump right in!
