DIY Kid Safe Firecrackers

by

What’s not to love about the Fourth of July? We get to be with our family and friends, savor the food and, of course, enjoy the fireworks! Encourage your kids to stay safe and have fun with these DIY kid-safe firecrackers!

Supplies:

Directions:

Measure and cut out a rectangle from your construction paper to the size of 3.75 inches by 6 inches.

Decorate the cut out piece of construction paper.

Cut the end off a balloon and pull the balloon tightly over the end of the empty toilet paper roll.

Wrap construction paper over the toilet paper roll and balloon. Tape in place.

Set aside the firecracker launcher.

Tear as many little pieces of paper as you want for your firecracker. I would encourage making way more confetti than you think you will use, as it will go fast!

Place paper inside of launcher and pull balloon to set off your firecracker!
