Some Chinese crafts - Fireworks

As the school year comes to an end(well we don't strictly follow school holidays, but it will be our church holiday soon, and then I am sure a lot of playdates with school going friends), we decided to keep the Chinese theme going till the end, it would be disjointed to start a new theme now.
Ciara loves doing crafts, and loved this fireworks craft, though the blowing took her a while to workout.

Eden's.
And Niamh's firework display. I have noticed that Jude is not really interested in craft work lately, I had to encourage him to do this one as I thought he would enjoy the blowing, but it only kept his interest for a short while, and then he was back out playing in the sandpit again.
Another firework craft. This one uses cupcake cases.
They are flattened, then lines are drawn on, the folded a few times and cut so that a spiral kind of shape is achieved, and then finally they are glued onto black card and decorated with glitter.
A really effective outcome.

I like the blown up ones, very realistic and colourful.

You are all so creative.

Of course boys have lots of energy and need to get out and about..

Glad you enjoy the outdoors Jude.

Love you all lots and lots.
