Who doesn't love a good fireworks show? (My husband captured this amazing picture - please don't reuse without permission). It's the perfect opportunity to turn inquiring young minds to the science of light. After the inspiring display, we pulled out the glitter glue and black construction paper and designed a show of our own.
Kids love getting their fingers into things, and glitter glue is no exception! Keeping wet wipes nearby will also appease mom and make clean up simple. The great thing about fire work art is that it doesn't fade as quickly.
This year I took it one step further - I saw this on a blog once (that I can't find now - anybody know?) and so I used the glow sticks we love to take when watching fireworks and threw them in the water table. The kids could not get enough of this!
(This picture shows the toys in a better light - dark photography is difficult "Phew")
