During the fourth of July you usually only see fireworks on one night, and very late at night. Between the time of night and the loudness of the fireworks sometimes your toddler misses out on all the sights. This craft allows them to see fireworks in the house during the day.
Step 1: There is no rule to what your fireworks should look like, have fun cutting out shapes. You can have your toddler color what they want as the fireworks and then cut that out. Your toddler and you can paste or tape different shapes on to one another to make neat firework designs, it is totally up to you how you approach this first step.
If you toddler is unsure of what fireworks should look like, you can draw or cut the shapes out first to show them.
Step 2: Help your toddler glue different pieces together to create their fireworks. If you do not want to use glue or do not have any you can also use tape to hold the several pieces to one another. If it helps you can glue your designs to a blank sheet of paper and cut them out later on, which ever is easiest for your toddler.
This is the most fun part of the craft and it allows your little one to be creative and artistic.
Step 3: Paste the fireworks to the ceiling and/or walls of the play area that your toddler has in the house or in their bedroom, using tape (or tacks as long as your toddler can not reach them). If you don't want to have tape or tacks everywhere, thread all of the fireworks that you toddler made on a string and hang the string up.
Your toddler may decide that they want to keep the fireworks up that they made long after the fourth of July is over and if you save them you can bring them out again next year.

You toddler can watch wonderful fireworks on your desktop.
