Crafts that KABOOM for the 4th of July

When I was a wee lass, my family would walk to the local high school football field every 4th of July to see the fireworks.

I could not WAIT to see those massive explosions of sparkly wonder do their thing in the night sky.

I must get it from my dad – who literally gets choked up watching firework displays.

Fireworks have also played an important part in my love life and in the birth of our Happy Buddy – but you’ll have to wait until the 4th to hear about that.

Here are some firework crafts that KABOOM with creativity!
