Several people are planning special Fourth of July festivities despite burn bans in the area. Of course the show must go on, and while many kids are disappointed they cannot shoot off fireworks this year there are some great alternatives to fireworks.
Check out this "Pin" we found on Social Networking Site Pinterest.com. This pin is a list of alternatives to fireworks. These alternatives include confetti, which is also brightly covered and fun, or even laser light shows. All of these alternatives keep kids entertained.
Laser lights are pretty inexpensive and can be found at several gas stations or Petco locations. These are great replacements to sparklers that keep kids just as entertained.
Another option is a piñata. You don't need a birthday party as an excuse to fill up on candy. Just make sure kids don't eat too much. Hot dogs and candy aren't always the best combination.
If you're looking for some great recipes checkout this pin. This includes directions to make grilling delicacies like Honey Chicken Skewers With Grilled-Corn Salad.
Buckets can also be used for a water relay race in this game.
