<\/div>\nThe Red, White & Blue Straw Painted Fireworks Wreath is a great addition to the Fourth of July Crafts<\/a> and the wreath crafts<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n A wreath is a collection of items around a circle. It can be used as a seasonal decoration around a house.<\/p>\n The Red, White & Blue Straw Painted Fireworks Wreath Craft is a painted wreath that uses dot markers and red, white, and blue paints to make the painted paper plate wreath.<\/p>\n A fun book to read about fireworks is The Explosive Story of Fireworks<\/a>. You can learn about the history of fireworks. You can also talk to kids about the colors and about how they are the same colors as the flag. And that each color means something.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n You can see the steps below that we used to make the Red, White & Blue Straw Painted Fireworks wreath craft.<\/p>\n You are going to use a graphite dot marker to make the dot maker a black color with a little shimmer to the color.<\/p>\n You can use the inside of the paper plate you cut out as a protector of the table. You can see the set up for that below. If this wont work for the age of the kids you are doing the firework craft with then change it to a larger paper<\/a> or art tray<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can see how we use the paper plate center under where we are dot painting the paper plate. Remember do what is best for the kids making this firework craft.<\/p>\n You are going to put the straws in the paint. we use one straw for each color of paint. And when we cut the straw we did not cut them deep to make sure they would fit on the size of the paper plate wreath.<\/p>\n You can see we started with one color of paint and went around the paper plate. This is just a suggestion to do one color at a time. <\/p>\n You can let kids paint as much as they want around the wreath and in any way they want.<\/p>\n You can see after we did one color we started on the next color. You can see how fun it is to see the firework appear on the wreath. <\/p>\n And remember let kids be creative with this painting. They have more ideas or thoughts to make this their own painting.<\/p>\n You can see that we use all three colors and that the colors can overlap and you can paint as much as kids want around the wreath. And if kids want to do the same color a few times let them do that. It makes for a fun painting.<\/p>\n Torn Paper Fireworks Craft<\/a> is a great fine motor craft you can make at home for kids who might not like fireworks.<\/p>\n Firework Activity Pack<\/a> has prewriting, numbers, shapes, and abcs for kids. The firework pack is great for preschool, prek and kindergarten age kids. You have clip cards, tracing strips, easy reader books and no-prep worksheets.
