Fireworks Fun: DIY Reusable Confetti Popper Craft for Preschoolers

Hey there, craft-loving teachers, homeschoolers, and parents of curious toddlers! Today, I’ve got an explosive craft that will ignite loads of fun while teaching your little ones about the fabulous Letter F. Get ready to make your very own reusable “Firework” popper that will surely make your craft time go with a bang!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Paper tube
  • Card stock paper
  • Cardboard
  • Pipe cleaners
  • Tissue paper
  • 1 Pony bead
  • String
  • Glue (hot glue works best)

Let’s get crafty with these simple steps:

  1. Take your paper tube and place it on a piece of card stock paper. Trace a circle around it, making sure to cut the circle out slightly wider than the marked area.

  2. Cut small slices all around the traced circle so you can fold it up and glue it together, creating a bowl shape. I’m a fan of hot glue for quick drying!

  3. Place the tube on a piece of cardboard and trace it. Cut out the cardboard circle, making it a little bigger than the traced shape.

  4. Take two pipe cleaners and wind the ends together so they are twice as long. Wrap them around a marker to create a spring shape.

  5. Poke a hole through the center of both the bowl-shaped paper and the cardboard disk.

  6. Glue one end of your pipe cleaner spring to the underside of the paper bowl. Then, glue the other end of the pipe cleaner spring to the center of the cardboard disk.

  7. Tie a pony bead to the end of your string. Thread the string through the hole in your bowl, through the center of your pipe cleaners, and out the bottom of the cardboard disk. Make sure the bead is inside the bowl and that your string won’t pull through. Leave a long tail as this will be the pull string for your confetti firework.

  8. Take your cardboard tube and fold it in half. Cut a line around the bottom fourth, leaving half an inch uncut so the tube stays together.

  9. Unfold the tube and slide the bowl, spring, and disk into the cut area. Push the thread so it hangs out the bottom. Apply glue around the disk and opening, sealing it shut. If the cardboard disk extends a bit, it’ll give added stability when the spring is used. Quick-drying hot glue works wonders here!

  10. Let your creativity sparkle and decorate the outside of your tube with whatever materials you fancy. The more colorful, the better!

  11. Once everything is dry, it’s showtime! Load small pieces of tissue paper into the top bowl. Pull back the spring, release it, and watch the confetti fireworks blast off into the sky!

Ladies and gentlemen, you have just created an incredible reusable confetti popper that will keep your little ones entertained and engaged while learning about the Letter F. The best part? The possibilities for creative explosions are endless!

So gather your little ones, dig into your craft supplies, and let the Fireworks Fun commence. It’s time to make learning a blast!

Hey there, crafty pals! In today’s blog post, I have a delightful and educational craft that will surely bring a smile to your little one’s face. Say hello to the “Friends Forever” craft – a cute way to celebrate the letter F while learning about friendship. So, let’s grab our coloring supplies and paper, and dive right in!

Step 1:

Gather your materials Before we get started, make sure you have all the necessary supplies close at hand. We’ll be needing markers or crayons, and a sheet of paper. (and possibly the printout below if you don’t want to draw, cutout your own)

Step 2:

Fold it like a pro Now, let’s fold the paper into fourths accordion-style. Don’t worry; it’s easier than it sounds! Simply fold the paper back and forth, creating neat, parallel folds until you have four equal-sized panels.

Step 3:

Time to draw! On the front-facing panel, let your little artist’s imagination run wild! Draw a person on the folded paper. Make sure the person’s hands are right at the folds. This way, they’ll be holding hands with the other friends once we unfold it!

Step 4:

Snip, snip, but not too much! Carefully cut out the person, making sure to avoid cutting where the hands touch the folds. Our friends need to stay connected, after all!

Step 5:

The exciting reveal Now comes the fun part – unfold your paper masterpiece! Like magic, you’ll reveal four friends holding hands, ready to spread some friendship cheer!

Step 6:

Color and converse Sit with your little one and bring those friends to life with colors and laughs! While coloring together, take the opportunity to talk about friendship – what it means to be a true friend, the importance of kindness, and sharing stories of memorable friendships. You can even read a book about friendship as you color!

Taste Test Magic:

Encourage your little ones to try new fruits and let their taste buds do the talking. Have them rate each fruit and decide which one they like the best! You might be surprised by their preferences.

Counting Crunch:

Use this fruity feast to practice counting skills. Ask your kids to count how many fruits of each kind you have, or even group the fruits into little piles and count the piles together. It’s a delicious math lesson!

Fruit Rainbow Madness:

Get crafty and make a colorful fruit rainbow together. Cut small pieces of colored paper for each fruit, arrange them in a rainbow pattern, and then match the corresponding fruit to each color. It’s like an edible masterpiece!

Remember, these are just a few ideas, but you know your kids better than anyone. You can mix and match these suggestions or add your own twists to the activity. The whole point is to have fun while learning about the letter F!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to enjoy your Fruit Feast:

Set the stage:

Create a beautiful, inviting space for your Fruit Feast. Assemble the fruits in a colorful display, and establish a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.

Introduce the Letter F:

Before the feasting begins, spend some time discussing the letter F with your little ones. Talk about the sound it makes and examples of words that start with F.

Fruit Exploration:

Encourage your kiddos to touch, smell, and describe each fruit. Help them name the fruits and learn about their colors, shapes, and textures. This sensory adventure will make their learning experience even more memorable.

Dive into the Feast:

Taste, explore, and have fun with your fruit selections! Use the activity ideas mentioned above or create your own games to make the experience engaging and enjoyable. Don’t forget to capture some cute pictures of your little ones experimenting with flavors and textures!

Clean-up Time:

Once the fruit feast is over, involve your little ones in cleaning up the mess. Make it a fun teamwork activity by incorporating some simple tasks like throwing away the peels or wiping the table. It’s a good opportunity to teach responsibility and cooperation.

So, what are you waiting for? Get those aprons on, gather your favorite fruits, and embark on a fruity adventure with your little ones that they’ll cherish forever.

Happy feasting, fellow fruit enthusiasts!
