4th July Firework Paintings

What you need

Crayons or a candle

Water colour paints

Paper

Instructions

Step 1- Allow your child to pick the paper of their choice

Step 2- Get your little one to draw a picture on the paper. Talk about the patterns that fireworks make and maybe have some photo’s out to look at.

Step 3- Paint over the picture using the water colours to finish the picture. The darker the colour, the more effective.

If you would like to add more colour to your pictures add some glitter and more chalk once their dry.
