posted by sreneedesigns on July 5th, 2010Here’s what we did for Fun Friday on July 2
The Story
The book was Fourth of July Mice! By Bethany Roberts
The Song
(To the tune of I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little firework
Up in the sky.
I dance and I shimmer
Way up, up high.
Sometimes I’m red.
Sometimes I’m blue.
But I always sparkle
Just for you.
I’m a little firework
Up in the sky.
I dance and I shimmer
Way up, up high
The Craft: Sparklers
What you’ll need:
- Wooden dowel or craft stick
- 2 gold chenille stems
- Gold foil-type garland
- Scissors
How to make it: Cut garland into six inch pieces. Gather all the pieces of garland together like a bouquet, with the wooden dowel at the center. Use both hands. (You may have to help your kids with this part.)
Wrap a chenille stem around the “bouquet” to secure it. .
Continue wrapping chenille stem tightly around the garland and the dowel. Repeat with second chenille stem.
Position the garland pieces so that it looks like a sparkler.
