Footprint Firework - 4th of July Keepsake

Get ready to celebrate the red, white and blue season with a unique & memorable 4th of July keepsake idea! Create a festive “footprint firework” design on paper that will last long after the final fireworks are gone!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

  • First squirt some craft paint on a paper plate.
  • Using the paint brush, paint the bottom of your child’s foot and press it in the center of your print out. This will be the body of the “firework.”
  • Use baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink to clean off excess paint from their foot.
  • To finish off the Footprint 4th of July Keepsake – have children cut out a medium sized triangular top for their firework and glue it down on the paper.
  • Use the glitter glue for sparkles coming from the firework.
  • Add on other festive embellishments around the painted design, to give it that patriotic look.
  • Then gift/display proudly!!!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
