Fourth of July Morning Fun!

We always love opportunities to have some messy, educational fun with your kids. For a Patriotic morning, try this yummy treat.

Make waffles and spread whipped cream over the top. Put the children at the table with their waffles, a bowl of blueberries, a bowl of sliced strawberries, an a picture of the American flag. Tell them to try to make a flag on their waffle using what they have at the table. This would be a fun time to talk about independence day and what that means. It is such a great thing to live in a country that values freedom, pass that appreciation on to your little ones!
