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!
