The Fourth of July usually means fireworks, beach days, and barbecues. The holiday may look a little different this summer while families are following social distancing rules, but it can still be filled with patriotic fun. Even if families opt to stay home on the fourth, they can party it up with some exciting toys, games, and activities fit for the occasion. Kids can launch toy cars that explode like fireworks with Boom City Racers; explore the U.S. without leaving their living room with Ryan’s World collectibles; tie-dye outfits in red, white, and blue; learn about our government with political board games; cool off in the backyard with refreshing water toys; or get in touch with the great outdoors with bikes and skateboards. Let freedom ring with the help of these awesome picks below!
