Toddler Patriotic Activities for Kids 2-4
I’m using the term “toddler” a bit loosely right here, because usually 4 year olds are definitely not still considered toddlers, but I still call my 3 year old a baby, OK? She’s the last one, let me live in blissful ignorance about her true life stage.
Regardless, even if your child is a true “toddler” they will have fun with these patriotic activities for toddlers.
I don’t know about every toddler, but my toddlers have always loved throwing things and making a mess. This makes the Patriotic Balloon Painting activity ideal. Just use washable paint and make sure they have a change of clothing.

This sounds like a lot with a name like, Patriotic Paint Bombs, but truly, it’s just exploding bags of dyed baking soda and vinegar. Toddlers will LOVE it, as long as they aren’t noise-sensitive.
The original theme for this activity was Fizzing Rainbows, but you can easily make it a fizzing flag or fizzing stars! That would be so cute!
