Firework Craft
Kids are always amazed by fireworks! They are so big they seem enormous to children as they take over the dark night sky with their bold, brilliant colors, unpredictable pattern, trailing effects, and loud booming!
Fireworks are an American tradition for the Fourth of July, summer festivals, evenings at Disney World, and many, many other times. Help kids prepare for or remember the fireworks show with this really fun and easy to make firework craft for kids from toddler, preschool, pre k, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade students.

Tie together the curling ribbon at the end on the backside of the black construction paper.
To keep the project nice and flat and secure, I suggest using tape to secure the knot to the back of the construction paper.
Show your child how to hold the curling ribbon (close to the construction paper) against the straight edge of scissors and sweep to the end to make the ribbon into a tight curl.
After you’ve curled the ribbon, you can double the spray effect by using scissors to cut in the middle of a ribbon and gently pull it apart to create two (thinner) firework curls.
Here is a very simple curling ribbon firework using 3 strips of ribbon where each ribbon was pulled into 2. Such a fun summer craft to make with kids of all ages!
