Things To Do With Baby on the 4th of July
July 4th is just around the corner and as any holiday, it’s one more reason to do something special with your baby to help create memories or begin traditions to continue for years to come. No matter what your budget is there are ways fun ways to be patriotic.
Here’s a few things we came up with at Ambajam to highlight Independence Day and hopefully put a smile on your little one’s face.
Face Painting
Toddlers and babies really get a kick out of getting their faces painted and it doesn’t have to be too fancy. You can make a simple flag with just a few stripes or even just a star on their cheek. Make sure the paint you use us non-toxic and washable or find a fair that has vendors there that do face painting. They can really get detailed with some of the designs and the kids usually get a kick out of it.
Water Color Flags
All you need is plain white paper, a brush, water colors and a cup of water. Lay this out somewhere that won’t get ruined if your cup tips over. 
Begin by drawing a flag yourself on a piece of paper. Don’t worry about being to precise, all you need are stripes and a few stars. Let your toddler in on the fun and see what they come up with. Whatever it looks like, I’m sure you will treasure it and hopefully it will make the refrigerator hall of fame.
Patriotic Cupcakes
Baking cupcakes is always a treat that kids love. From licking the batter spoon to enjoying the final product. Holidays give us a time to really get creative with frosting so let’s make the most of it. Find some red, white and blue frosting and go to town. Sprinkles would be the icing on the cake so to speak. You don’t have to be a baker to have fun with cupcake decorating.
Flag Tagging
Most discount stores will sell small inexpensive flags. Try buying about 20 and take a strip of white paper and write “Happy 4th, your neighbor (fill in name)” Staple the paper tightly to the flag pole. Take a walk with your toddler or baby and let them put the flag in your neighbors lawns or pots or just lay them on their doorstep. Most people like a little red, white and blue on their lawn and it’s a good way for you to get to know your neighbors and take a stroll outside with your baby.
Matching Outfits
Matching a tee shirt with mom or dad is something you can only get away with for so long, so why not do it now? You can probably find matching shirts at places like Old Navy or the Gap. If not, then try decorating a plain white tee shirt yourself and sport them on July 4th.
Stickers
It’s a safe bet that kids of any age will like stickers. I wouldn’t recommend letting your baby play with stickers unattended, however sometimes watching them try to figure out why one side is sticking to their fingers is quite fun. Try finding patriotic stickers and let your baby add them to coloring books, or even to plain white paper. You can save these in a box and bring them out every year. You can also just put it on their clothing so they can feel patriotic for the day.
Hair Accessories
Hair ribbons add flair to any outfit, but on holidays they are a tribute. Make these fun. You can combine 3 colors or just 2 or even one if that’s all you have. If your girl has hair long enough for a pony tail, you can actually wrap lots of ribbon around the pony tail and then use it around her hair.
National Anthem
Play it. Sing it. Let your babies hear it over and over. You may be surprised at how quickly they can memorize the song if they are already talking. Watching them sing it will be precious.
Fireworks Shows
“The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air” Most cities provide a fireworks show. Find out where it will be and make an evening out of it. If you are concerned about parking or that there will be too many people, try and figure out an alternate spot where you can view the show from a distance. Maybe there is a hillside near by where you can take your baby to enjoy the show up in the sky. If you don’t live close to anything like that, try watching them on the computer. Go to YouTube.com and search for fireworks shows. I’m pretty sure you will find lots of videos to keep you and baby busy for a while.
Parades
Lots of towns have a July 4th parade and some are quite silly, but babies and toddlers don’t care. They’ll have fun just going there and waving at passers by. Maybe they’ll get a special treat like a horn or cotton candy. Most important, it’s just a way to spend the time and since most parades are in the morning, it’s a good way to set the tone for the day. Check your city websites or city council office for information.
Make sure to teach your kids at a young age about safety around fireworks. Making them aware of it at a young age will instill the importance of it as they get older.
Have a safe and patriotic fourth!!!!

13 Ways to Celebrate Dad
Father’s Day is June 15th this year. If you are busy taking care of baby and have yet to get a gift for daddy, then here are some quick and easy things that you can do to show you care.
1. Phone Photo
Take a cute pic of your baby and add it to daddy’s cell phone so that every time he gets a call from the house number the baby’s image will appear.
2. White Tee-Shirt
Get a plain white tee-shirt and paint the bottom of your baby’s feet. Have baby walk all over the shirt (different colors add more flare). Write ‘my baby walks all over me’ on the front of the shirt.
3. Photo Album
Get a small photo album and add cute pictures of your baby. Get colored markers and write dates and event names (if applicable) with each photo. Write a note to daddy from baby on the inside cover.
4. Make an Award or Certificate
Get creative and make a ‘Greatest Dad Award’. If you can, make a seal that has your baby’s picture in the middle.
5. Coupons
Make some coupons that will come in handy for dad later. Things like ‘1 Free diaper change’ or ‘1 free sleep in’.
6. Treasure Hunt
Hide some candy or other things dad might like around the house and create little notes and clues for dad to find his next treat.
7. Father’s Day Card
Make it personal. Create a card at home with your computer or colored pencils or markers. If you are able to make it with your computer, try adding different photos of your baby or maybe printing the same photo in different colors.
8. YouTube
Make dad a YouTube channel and upload videos of your baby.
9. Be Green
Plant a tree for dad in your yard or in a pot inside if you need to. Make sure baby can help even if it’s just by patting the dirt down.
10. Rocks
Find some good size rocks for paperweights and paint them with things like baby’s birthday or Happy Father’s Day.
11. Dad Olympics
Make a game in the yard for dad to have to play with or while holding the baby. Twister while holding baby or playing around baby might be fun.
12. Embroidery
Get hats 1 for daddy and one for baby. Have daddy’s hat say (baby’s name) dad and have baby’s hat say (daddy’s name) kid.
13. Screensaver
Surprise dad by uploading photos of baby on his computer. Set the computer so that the photos rotate through while it’s not in use.
14. Coffee Cup
Find a cup that is made to insert multiple photos. If that isn’t available, get a plain white cup and some colored permanent markers. Write things dad would want to see.
15. Frame
Get a frame with a white border and find a great photo of daddy and baby. Write Happy Father’s Day or Best Daddy on the border and paint baby’s hand and make hand prints.
Enjoy the day and celebrate dad.
