Glowsticks Instead Of Fireworks For The Fourth Of July
We camp on the 4th of July in an area where fireworks are not allowed so we came up with this idea. Buy red, white and blue glowsticks, necklaces, etc. at your local 99 cent store.
My husband has discovered the secret to re-using Glow-Sticks. These are the glow-in-the-dark sticks that kids love to use for camping, Halloween, etc. Our step-daughter likes to bring one to bed with her at night as a personal night-light when she is visiting us.
Frugal Fourth of July Activities
On the Fourth of July, we try to do a lot of activities that include our family and friends; cooking out, covered dish dinner, making ice cream in the old fashioned crank freezer, or having a watermelon cutting. These activities can be enjoyed by the young and old.
My boys and I love this time of year because we love to make things for July 4th. This is what we did last year. We made stars and stripes shirts.
Fourth of July Water Balloon Game
This is a great game for the 4th if July. All you need is 2 towels, 4 people and some water balloons! 2 people hold on th the short ends of a towel and place the water balloon in the middle. They fling it up in the air and let the other 2 people catch it in their towel

Table Linens for Fourth of July Parties
Instead of buying throwaway, light plastic tablecloths, spend a few dollars more and get a flannel-back table cloth (about $5) for seasonal parties. I got 3 of them for a 4th of July party a few years ago and bring them out every year for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.
Ice cream is the perfect dessert for a barbecue, and easy to serve if you scoop it ahead of time and put the scoops in cupcake liners, then freeze. Pop a scoop of ice cream, or 2 into a bowl and add some sliced strawberries or peaches!
