Happy Fourth Of July!

I saw this cute idea on pinterest using straws to make fireworks.

I decided to add large spiny balls to the paint and subway art to my paper 

because I love subway art! Just Google Fourth of July subway art. I first glued the

 subway art in the corner of the paper. I then taped 8 straws together. You need the 

bending straws so they fan out. For easy clean-up I used paper plates.

We added glitter to our paint for some sparkle. The kids took the straws

dipped them in the paint, turned them in the paint  so they were covered with  paint

 and then pressed them onto the paper. I had them gently push each

 straw so the print would come out nicely. They then added spiny

 ball fireworks to fill in the empty spaces on their paper. 

These came out so cute!!! Worthy of being framed!
