Celebrate Canada Day and More

There are so many reasons to celebrate in July! But marking Canada Day with some amazing red and white crafts and Canada Day recipes and games is the perfect way to launch the month.

This year, I know there’s not a lot of room for outdoor celebrating with high groups. We are all still trying hard to be cautious here, but we will make some Canada Day recipes and print off the Canada Day word searches, games and crafts too.

Here are some of my Canada Day Favourites

I have broken this down into Canada Day word games, Canada Day recipes and Canada Day crafts too. If you are decorating, then don’t forget to get the maple leaf themed party materials here as well. Canada Day Cups and decorations with Canada Day balloons.

Have a Sensory Seeker?

Here’s an excellent Canada Day red and white coloured rice craft. Perfect for kids with sensory processing disorder, autism, FASD. And Next Comes L has several great ideas for sensory crafts and games on Canada Day.

Red and White Canada Day Crafts

We love origami. We have discovered that we enjoy this Japanese art because it is rewarding to follow the instructions and come up with something new each time. Both of the girls are really good at this somehow.

  • Jackie over at Happy Hooligans has a couple of super cute ideas. Love these easy Red and White Canada Day flip flops made with Dollar Store supplies. Easy to make and perfect for tweens or teens too.
  • Also from Jackie is this adorable Canada Day windsock. Make it a group activity or a family craft you hang and share this week!

So Many Butter Tarts

I have an extremely popular butter tarts recipe here. We have been making these forever and I love them so much. The caramelization part is the best part. Butter plus brown sugar makes such a gooey and scrumptious blend of filling. Just writing about it makes me want to make them again.

I am not the only one with butter tarts on the mind right now though.

Oh and of course it’s okay for kids because it’s a cocktail.
  • Strawberry Frosé by Maple and Mango. Drool. This one is for the adults, thanks!
