On Independence Day, we celebrate the freedom that gives us space to raise our families, worship God, and savor the sweet moments, like fireworks in the sky and sticky popsicle smiles.
Eleanor Roosevelt said, “With freedom comes responsibility.“ And, Mom, one of our most meaningful
responsibilities is teaching our kids about the country we call home. But since it’s summertime, skip the lecture. Instead, spark your kids’ curiosity and help them feel proud to be part of this nation with a few fun printables and hands-on Fourth of July activities that feel more like play than school.
