Make your own sparkling fireworks picture using watercolor paint and salt. First you draw fireworks with glue on black paper. Then you sprinkle salt on top like tiny crystals. When you touch the salt with watery paint, the colors spread out all by themselves—like magic fireworks in the night sky. When it dries, your fireworks look bumpy, bright, and shiny.
A 30–45 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — White Glue, Watercolor Paint, and Plastic Cups.
GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.
