Having a 4th of July get-together with friends? Ask the kids to bring along their scooter or bike to decorate for an informal patriotic parade! Our daughters and their friends had a blast decorating their scooters with ribbon, American flags, and pinwheels while sporting the Statue of Liberty crowns they made. Then they took their scooters for a spin to show them off! Make sure to check out all the other fun activities, food, and decorations that we had for our backyard 4th of July party!
Have the kids make their patriotic crowns using the pre-made craft kits. We set the girls’ play table outside and covered it with a gingham tablecloth for them to craft on easily.
Set out all the decorations to make it easy for the kids to choose from for their scooters and bikes. I put everything in a big basket, including a few tassels I made from the patriotic fringe banner. Check out this tutorial to see how easy it is to do!
Let the kids get creative decorating their scooters or bikes. The patriotic washi tape works great for attaching tassels, pinwheels, and flags, and is also a pretty decoration on its own.
Let the kids show off their new set of wheels with a patriotic parade. You can even award prizes if you want!
The kids absolutely loved this. I have a feeling the decorations are going to stay on their scooters for awhile! Make sure to check out the other 4th of July party ideas including the make your own hot dog bar and pinwheel centerpieces.
