Patriotic Marshmallow Pops

July 1, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

These Patriotic Marshmallow Pops are a quick and easy treat to make and eat to celebrate the Fourth of July or Memorial Day!

With the 4th of July quickly approaching, my daughter has been noticing lots of red, white and blue decor on display at local businesses and has been asking me quite a few questions about why they’re there, what our flag means and why we fly it. I love that she’s beginning to take notice of things like this, and it’s been great seeing the wheels turn in her head when I share tidbits of our beautiful nation’s history with her. Since she’s gradually beginning to understand what freedom is and why we celebrate it, I thought it would be fun to make a quick and easy dessert to kick off our weekend heading into the 4th of July week!

With Memorial Day right around the corner and Independence Day quickly approaching, I’ve started my annual hunt for the cutest seasonal snacks and crafts on Pinterest  (where I always spend way more time that I ever intended) to pin to my Fourth of July pin board. My toddler is starting to take an interest in creating things, and I thought it’d be perfect to find a few of my favorite patriotic snacks for kids that encourage them to have a creative eye and create something that’s not only super yummy, but also really cute!

Can you believe that summer is just right around the corner? 2017 seems to really be flying by! We’re inching closer to Memorial Day, and I know that this time of year is the time when a lot of people start packing their belongings up and celebrating our country and our freedoms with family vacations, trips to the beach, heading out to the lake, etc. Before we know it, we’ll be celebrating our nation’s Independence Day in July with all sorts of delicious foods and desserts!

If you’re planning a fun trip or outing centered around those two holidays, these sweet little treats are just the thing to bring along with you! They’re super easy to make, really inexpensive, adorably festive and totally scrumptious! They’re also really fun for kids to make as a fun summer activity, too! 😉
