Pipe cleaner fireworks



For the past week Boog and I have been focusing on Fourth of July related crafts. I've been trying to explain to him what our flag looks like but I don't think it has clicked yet. Either way he has been having a lot of fun with our flag themed projects.

For the stamp take three or four pipe cleaners, bend them in half then twist the top half to hold them together. Next spread out the half that isn't twisted to make a nice firework shape.

Next lay out some black paper, really you can use any color of paper but the black really lets the colors pop. Pour each color of paint onto a plate and let your littles get to stamping.

Another way you can do these is instead of using paint have them stamp in glue and once they are done have them use different colored glitter to sprinkle on. This will give the fireworks a little shine and sparkle.  Happy crafting.
