Want to be the coolest dad? 4th of July Parades are around the corner, and everyone loves a good float. The best way to make light props to go on the float so you can fit more kids is to build it 3-D with Foam It Green. Build the structure out of wire, wood, paper mache, virtually anything (as long as it’s disposable- you won’t get it back) and then foam over it to build a carvable, paintable, 3-D structure! Whether you get the kids involved or just let them ride on it, your float will be one to remember. Because it’s so light but structurally solid, you can build anything, even BIG things - Mount Rushmore, Lincolns hat, a replica of the White House- your imagination is the limit this 4th of July!

You remember the good old days with floats in local 4th of July parades, right? They have gone by the wayside because they take time and $ to do them up right. But, really, just a little creativity and a kit of Foam It Green will get you all the acolades. Floats used to be my favorite part of 4th of July parades. I remember my older sisters working on them in highschool, but by the time I got to highschool, they were gone- and to this day, they are still few and far between. But, it doesn’t change how cool they are!

Bring the cool float back and get Dad of the year award!
