An Activity for Preschoolers:
Recreate the sights of a beautiful fireworks show!

Before You Begin:
To create these colorful and explosive scenes, you'll need the following: paint in various
colors, construction paper, craft rolls and paper plates.
Pour some of each color of paint onto a paper plate—one color per plate.

Activity Goals:
To experiment with colors and shapes by representing fireworks.

Furthermore:
Choose red, white and blue for a more patriotic theme, or allow children to explore their
creativity with a variety of paints. Shimmering metallic paints provide a unique touch!

Steps:

  1. To make fireworks paint stampers, cut one end of a craft roll in 1/4″ strips halfway to the
    middle and bend the resulting flaps outward. You should create a stamper for each color
    of paint.
  2. Dip the flaps of the art roll into the paint and stamp onto a piece of construction paper.
  3. Repeat step 2 with different colors using a different art roll for every color.
  4. Allow the artwork to dry and display for a collaborative classroom fireworks scene.
