Shake some ice cream sprinkles on white paper. (I think you need actual ice cream sprinkles and not cake sprinkles.)
Stop to taste test:
Mist lightly with water.
The color from the sprinkles will start to transfer to the paper.
Let dry and brush off the sprinkles.
Or not, depending on the artist's preference.
Wah lah! Safe and quiet fireworks!
Our favorite 4th of July books:
We checked out Happy 4th of July, Jenny Sweeney!
from the library and it is the perfect book for preschoolers: amazing illustrations and short rhyming text. It really does feel like the 4th of July. Jenny rides her bike through town and sees people preparing for the parade, celebrating new citizenship, getting ready to give speeches, and having a picnic. Apple Pie Fourth of July
is about a girl who cannot make her Chinese parents understand that people will not buy their food on the 4th of July. Nobody wants egg rolls or chow mein today. They are too busy watching the parade and eating apple pie. But she's in for a surprise!
What a fun idea!! We will definitely have to give this one a try and perhaps use it at our 4th of July BBQ. I'm going to pin it so I remember it. Thanks for sharing it!

I love the effect of the sprinkles on the wet paper!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, how imaginative! Thanks for linking to Science Sparks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! So simple, too. I love it!
ReplyDeleteCool! I think this would turn into arts and snacks time with my buddies. And if I give my buddies ice cream sprinkles, chances are, they're going to want some ice cream to go along with it! I'd better wait for summer:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way for the little ones to get crafty! Love this!
ReplyDeleteSaw this on Pinterest, and I love it!! Can I find ice cream sprinkles at the grocery store or do I need to go to a specialty store?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I got them from a grocery store and have seen them at Target.
