Here’s a quick, fun craft to try for the 4th of July! These salt and glue fireworks are easy and so fun for kids.
You can make salt fireworks with just black paper, water, food coloring, dropper, glue, and salt. To begin, draw some fireworks with glue on black paper.
Before the glue dries, pour salt on top. You could even have your little one do this. Then brush off the remaining salt.
Next, fill some jars with water and add food coloring. Have your child fill a dropper with colored water and slowly drop water on the salt. Watch as the colored water spreads around the firework. It’s really fun to watch! Also, it is a great activity to build fine motor skills.
You can also use liquid watercolors. They work great and are more vibrant!
The paper does get a little wet, but it’s also a good lesson for teaching kids that water can make salt melt!
This is such a simple, yet fun activity for kids. I hope you’ll try it out!
Happy 4th of July!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on this new ebook, Angela! We are FULLY IMMERSED in the preschool stage, and this ebook sounds perfect! (I’m a former teacher, too. Isn’t it fun to be teaching our kids at home!)

I would love to win this for my preschool age son! He has special needs and is constantly needing to go to medical appointments. Having this curriculum would be extremely helpful!
Planning to start preschool homeschool in the fall with my 2-1/2 year old twins – would love this book to guide me a little, since homeschooling is a little overwhelming to me still 🙂
So fun! You have a good chance of winning! Thanks for entering the giveaway!
Would LOVE to win this set! We are in the processes of selling/moving/buying/building and that puts us in an RV for 6-9 months! We have been trying to keep up with fun and educational activities for our 3 y/o… including sometimes desperately trying to make all this seem like a fun adventure… 🙂 The curriculum book would be a great help!
Oh wow! You do have a lot going on, LeAnn! Hope you win as well! I’ll have giveaways all this week for the ebook so be sure to stop back!
