Salt Painting Fireworks for Independence Day
Ages: 3–10 Time: 30–45 min
Make your own sparkling fireworks picture using watercolor paint and salt. First you draw fireworks with glue on black paper. Then you sprinkle salt on top like tiny crystals. When you touch the salt with watery paint, the colors spread out all by themselves—like magic fireworks in the night sky. When it dries, your fireworks look bumpy, bright, and shiny, making it a dazzling Independence Day craft for kids.

Popsicle Stick photo frames are one of the simplest crafts kids can master! All you need are a package of “craft sticks” from the hobby shop or the craft aisle and acrylic paint! They're great for any holiday. Our friend Denise at STL Motherhood went for red, white, and blue for Independence Day, making it a perfect Fourth of July craft for families, but swap out the colors and you've got an easy gift for any season.
