4th Of July Fireworks Craft for Kids

I am not a very crafty mom, so when I look to do crafts I try to find ones as easy as
possible for my kids. This craft my 6.5 year old daughter made, and it was simple yet fun
for her!

Materials needed:
1. Blue and red food coloring
2. Black construction paper (or any color you prefer)
3. Salt
4. Small straws or a dropper
5. Bottle of glue

Start off by having the kids draw on the paper with the glue in the shape of fireworks.
Then shake salt over the glue and make sure it covers all of it.

Mix water with the red & blue food coloring, and grab a small straw or dropper. Pick up
some colored water with the straw/dropper and put the water over the salt lines.

Let the craft dry overnight once done (ours was dry within 5 hours) and you will see
some really cool fireworks!!

This was a very fun craft, and great for all ages.
