Do your kids love fireworks? Here's a way to focus on the fun (and none of the fear) right in your own home.

Materials

• newspaper (to protect your surfaces)
• straws
• poster paint

• white glue
• fine poly glitter (you can find this at the craft store)
• cardstock

Instructions

1.
Cover your surfaces with newspaper. This project can get messy!
2.
Mix the paint and the glue until you reach a smooth consistency and the paint moves easily. You may need to add a drop of water to the mixture.
3.
Pour several small puddles of the paint/glue mixture onto the cardstock.
4.
Use the straw to blow the paint around the cardstock making spray patterns.
5.
Sprinkle glitter over the top and set aside to dry.
