Glitter Fireworks

So, yesterday I was able to cross off one more item from our Summer Bucket List! I got to take the kids to my absolute favorite firework display at my hometown. Then, today, we made some Glitter Fireworks!

I decided to do the craft after we went to see the fireworks so that they would be fresh in their memory. Especially for my two year old who had never seen them before! I helped both of them (only when they asked … being a FIRM believer in child-directed art and play) create the firework design that they wanted. Henry wanted to model his picture after the finale of the fireworks!!!

We used Elmer’s Glue, leftover glitter, cardstock paper, and a cardboard palette (from soda cans) for a glitter tray. It was a fun and messy time for us to create together!

Happy 4th of July from PlayDrMom!!!

I was reminded about this crafting idea from … Let’s Kids Create: 4th of July Fireworks

DISCLAIMER

A couple things to note while reading my blog:

1. Yup, I'm a psychologist and I this is one place I share my perspective as a therapist and parent. However, it is by NO MEANS a replacement for seeking individualized face-to-face services/treatment.

2. Most, if not all, of my projects and activities for kids are to be done with close ADULT SUPERVISION because they are intended to help foster healthy relationships and bonds. They should be done one-on-one with a child, or in small groups. Please use common sense considering the age and abilities doing the activities.

3. To help pay for the expense of the blog I have "click-through" advertisements which I get paid a percentage for. I also receive free products to review. My reviews are always based on my honest opinions of the product.
