Super Firework Crafts for Kids of all ages

December 20, 2021

Fireworks are really something magical! They form a part of many celebrations, be it New Year’s Eve celebrations, the Fourth of July celebrations or Bonfire Night or Diwali… Fireworks almost always form a part of these. If you want to celebrate with fireworks in a creative and QUIET way.. why not give these Firework Crafts for Kids of all ages a go?

Celebrate with Firework Crafts
First shared in Oct 2021

As mentioned above Firework crafts are a great activity during key celebrations of the year. I have put together a collection of our favourite firework crafts to date (from the big wide web!!), but if you wan to taylor them to a particular celebration, you can easily do so.

For example – if you are looking for firework crafts for the 4th of July, why not simply adapt the firework colours shared here today to red, white and blue? For all other celebrations like Bonfire night crafts or Diwali crafts the more colours the better!

So.. how do you make fireworks kid friendly?

As much as we adore fireworks.. the loud noises can be distressing for some children, especially very young ones. Though even my 13year old doesn’t like the crowds and smoke from firework displays. So how do you make fireworks kids friendly? Bring your firework inspired activities and ideas into the home – to a quiet, safe environment. Read on and find out more!

Firework Activities for Early Years and Preschool

I will try and “sort” these projects into some broad categories, but of course they all overlap a little. To begin with how about some firework crafts for toddlers and preschoolers – super simple projects that are fun to make and play with!

Paper Roll Fireworks for New Year's Eve

Easy Paper Roll Firework Blowers! These are super cute and easy to make. Use upcycled tissue paper and Toilet Paper Tubes!

3d fireworks

Another great idea is this “pom pom” 3D Firework craft from Kids Crafts Room!

toddler firework craft

Fantastic Fun and Learning has these super cute pipecleaner firework rings. Aren’t they adorable?

I am going to “sneak” in my New Year’s Eve bubble wands at this point.. Just because they are so cute and popular.. and aren’t bubbles a bit like fireworks… mmh. Ok, a bit of a stretch. But any celebration party with toddlers, will love these fabulous little wands.

Paper Firework Crafts

Next, we do love a bit of paper crafting.. though again this could easily fit into your toddler fireworks craft section or indeed the Firework Art projects further down below.

I love this 3d Paper Cupcake Liner Firework project from a Little Pinch of Perfect. Great for practicing those fine motor scutting skills and the effect is so pretty!

How do you make Firework Art? How do you make fireworks with pictures?

Yep.. these are commonly asked questions, that I hope the following projects will answer! There are of course MANY ways you can create your firework art! Collages are always fun and can be extra vibrant. Let’s take a look at some fabulous inspiration for you.

Projects with Kids has a lovely paper “city scape” project with a bit of paper quilling fireworks. Any nighttime sky is perfect for firework art projects! Love the addition of little stars to the paper quills for that extra sparkle effect.

How do you make Fireworks in a jar?

A popular firework activity for any celebration is the now almost “classic”, Firework in a jar activity. A great science activity for bonfire night, diwali or new year’s eve:

fireworks in a jar

Well, I think we have a bit of a show topper her with these Glowing Fireworks in Jar from Growing a Jewelled Rose. Do check out the full instructions first before showing the kids.. you may want to go with the more traditional Fireworks in a jar method from Science Sparks (tried and tested in the classroom many a time!) – a bit easier and less fiddly/ toxic! But I couldn’t resist that amazing photo!

Recycled Firework Ideas and Activities

You know that we love to recycle and keep things as eco friendly as possible (hence, I do feel a little bad about the glow in the dark fireworks above.. but they are so cool.. argh).

Many of the art projects above already incorporate recycled materials.. and the “real” water bottle rocket shared at the top of the post, is also a fabulous upcycled idea. Lets use up our odds and ends and make some Firework Rockets!

toilet roll firework rocket

Firework craft with toilet paper rolls are of course a “MUST”! We have made many a Toilet paper roll Rocket over the years and of course they are a perfect “symbol” for fireworks. You can customise the design – e.g. by making it in red, blue and white as a 4th July Rocket, or adapt the colours and add little features such as Diya light to make it into a Diwali Craft!

bonfire night

Ok, so not strictly speaking a FIREWORK craft.. but this light up bonfire craft from Buggy & Buddy just is too cute not to include in this collection of firework ideas for kids!

We have more wonderful CELEBRATIONS Crafts and Ideas for all year round including:

  • Diwali Crafts
  • New Year’s Eve Crafts
  • Lunar New Year activities
  • 4th July fun for kids

I think this collection of Firework crafts and art project would compliment all those celebrations and activities!
