Do you happen to have an empty box laying around? Maybe a shoebox? If so – you are in the right place today with our Marbled Fireworks Scene kid craft idea. Perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday AND later down the road, New Years!

This crafty fireworks scene is perfect for the younger kids in your home to make! No two finished pieces will be alike either!!!

All you need is an empty box {a good ole Amazon box came in handy for us!} some rounded marbles, craft paint and paper to pull it together. Simply tape a piece of paper to the bottom of the box and let kids “roll” their paint around to make a marbled look. Easy peasy! Find the full tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Marbled Fireworks Scene Craft Supplies:

• Large Box w/an edge for holding the marbles inside
• Cardstock
• Craft Paint {any color you like – we did patriotic colors}
• Marbles/Jingle Bells/Large Round Beds
• Painter’s Tape
• Scissors
• School Glue

Directions:

• First things first – put a small piece of painter’s tape on the back of a single sheet of cardstock {any color you like} and place it inside your empty box.
• Next – squirt some paint inside the box and throw in your marbles. Two to three marbles is perfect!
• Now carefully {and gently} have children roll their marbles through the craft paint and around the box, to create a marbled look on the cardstock inside.
• Once they have the look they like, remove the marbles from the box {clean them off with soap & water} and remove the painted cardstock piece to allow it to dry completely.
• Then for added fun, cut out a “firework” from your remaining cardstock and glue it to the center of the marbled piece.
• Display proudly for ALL to see!
