Play dough fireworks!

Here’s a simple, sensory play idea from my daughter: play dough fireworks!

Play dough fireworks

Black play dough can make a great night sky, filled with colourful fireworks!

You’ll need some dough – ours is always made with our favourite homemade play dough recipe, this time with some black paint squeezed in, along with lavish sprinkles of silver glitter.

 

 

  Then you’ll need some fireworks. Gift tag bows could be good…

 

 

with some shiny ribbons to be the fireworks’ swooshy tails.   {A nice opportunity to practice some scissor skills too.}

 

 

Roll out your play dough sky with a rolling pin…

 

 

and decorate with your fireworks.

 

 

Beautiful!
