Blooming Fireworks Activity

I originally did this as a flower blooming activity last year but thought it would make a really good blooming fireworks activity.

Don’t forget to follow my seasonal crafts on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later. 

To do your own blooming fireworks activity you will need:

• Paper
• Pens*
• Scissors
• Bowl of water

*You will need both washable and permanent markers for this.

On a piece of paper draw a circle then cut it out.

Fold the circle in half, half again, and then half again.

On that wedge draw a petal shape and cut it out (a bit like if you were doing a kirigami snowflake).

Open your cut out circle and decorate it as a firework.  If you don’t want the design to bleed out into the water, then use permanent markers.

When you have finished decorating the firework fold the “petals” into the centre, you want to give it the illusion that the firework hasn’t been let off yet.  This is important for the next part.

Before I used a tray of water and put the flowers in it.  This time I gave NC a spray bottle of water and let her spray the firework to get them to slowly open and reveal their designs.

If you enjoyed this blooming fireworks activity, be sure to check out my firework sequins art and fireworks salt pictures.
