Virtual Fireworks for Kids

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

While the best fireworks are the live – offline kind, sometimes the web version can be pretty fun too. And the best part – no crowds to deal with.

Crayola Creativity Central has a fun activity where kids can create their own online fireworks show. Children can choose from a variety of rockets (hearts, smiley faces, stars, and traditional sparkly ones). Then they add the ones that they like to a timeline.

From here the kids can space out each one. So, just like the real live thing, they can start with one at a time and then build up to the grand finale using all of the rockets at once.

I am probably passing this information on to you way to late to actually enjoy it on Independence Day this year – but the activity is actually fun at any time. And if you bookmark it now – it will be at your fingertips when next July Fourth rolls around.

Thanks to a tweet by Little Miss Mocha for this little parenting tip!

Hi there! I understand this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask. Does building a well-established website such as yours take a massive amount work? I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal every day. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!
