Patriotic Firework Handprint Craft to Celebrate the 4th of July

The Fourth of July is quickly approaching so to decorate our walls with some sparkly red, white, and blue we made an easy firework Handprint Craft that looks adorable (because all handprint crafts turn out adorable… don’t you agree?).

Last week we shared our Cupcake Liner Firework Craft, so now we have two new Patriotic decorations this year.

Pin me please! 🙂

Supplies:
Black craft paper
Glue
Glitter
Paint

Directions:

1.  Cover child’s hand with paint and have them make handprints on their craft paper.

2.  Once the handprints dry, use the glue to make firework bursts, sprinkle the glue with glitter, shake of excess glitter, and set aside to dry.

I was so excited to hang our fireworks on the wall that I forgot to let them dry, when I came back we had some fireworks dripping onto the floor…eeek, lol 🙂

  • The set comes in a print-in-color or a color-me (coloring book) version. You can print the set out and assemble it, or extend this activity further by letting your students color their own spinner increasing their recognition of each picture.
  • Learn about frogs and their life cycle with this activity pack that includes interactive lapbook pages, a frog craft, science experiment, and more. This pack has perfect ideas for you to incorporate into your lesson about frogs.
  • This butterfly themed activity pack is full of butterfly facts, learning pages, and includes a craft and hands on science ideas. The activities in the pack can be selected to focus on the topics you want your child or students to learn. Some activities can be done individually and some are created specifically to enhance the information included in the Butterfly Notebook that can be assembled from the printable pages.
  • Just like the spring flowers that are appearing this time of year, your kid’s brains will be growing during this fun ABC letter matching flower activity. We practiced uppercase and lowercase letters but you could always adapt this activity to suit your needs (numbers, spelling, and more). The activity requires very little prep work and when you are done you can reuse the supplies for a different activity of craft.
  • We love painting around here because we can spend hours getting creative and usually a bit messy (thank goodness for painting smocks). Lately we have shared some Painting Activities and I am excited to share a ton more with you today! The painting techniques in today’s post include painting tools such as food, bubbles, cardboard, ice, and more… and if that wasn’t enough we have painting methods that use swinging pendulums, gears, magnets, and even more crazy fun ways to paint!
  • Around here we can’t get enough of Book Inspired Activities especially when Eric Carle’s name is mentioned. Since spring is here, the bugs are returning, and it’s a great time to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar I thought I would put together a helpful collection of The Very Best Hungry Caterpillar Activities for Kids including crafts, activities, and free printables to go along with this beloved book.
