Keep those little hands busy this holiday with our FORKS & FIREWORKS craft, because there’s no better way to celebrate the Fourth than with your own little firecracker!

All you’ll need is: primary paint colors, a plastic fork, paper, & a place to get messy! 

Start by putting out your primary paint colors: red, blue, and yellow. Now get ready for your first lesson in COLOR THEORY! Mix a plate of red and yellow together to make orange, blue and yellow to make green, and so on.

Dip your plastic fork into your custom color paint and press the back of it onto your paper, moving the fork in different directions to create a dynamic burst of color on the page.

Bonus: Dot on glitter with a Qtip to make your firework display SPARKLE!

Get those paper lunch bags ready for more than a PBJ, it’s time you meet our JAMMIN’ JELLYFISH today! All you’ll need is a paper bag, scissors, and washable paint.

– Start by checking out photos of real life jellyfish. Examine all of the vibrant colors together for crafting inspiration!

– Cut the lower half of your paper bag into small strips. Bigger kids will love to practice their scissor skills on these stinging tentacles!

– Paint your jellyfish paper bag with multiple colors, swirling them together as you go. Littles will love getting their hands messy to create the silky, slimy texture!

– For a final touch, add some googly eyes and maybe even a jokester jellyfish smirk!
