The Fourth of July is just around the corner and what a better way to get the kids in the mood for fireworks than some fun crafts!  Here are some super easy and cheap ways to create one-of-a-kind fireworks.

Here’s what you need:

  • Black construction paper

  • Paint (Tempera works best, but acrylic also works good)
  • Glitter (optional)

2. Use the straw to blow the paint all over the place.  Try blowing from different angles and with different amounts of force to create different effects.

4. Let dry fully and hang up to showcase a beautiful night sky full of gorgeous fireworks!
