Activities with Light💡

With the theme of fireworks, we used a lot of toys with lights.

I used these light up pool balls from Target. The cool thing about these is that you hit them and they stay lit up for awhile.

We also used these spiky light up balls from Target. They don’t stay lit up for as long, but they have a cool texture and looks a bit like a firework if you squint. You can find a similar spiky light up ball here.

Fireworks Salt Painting

This fun fireworks salt painting activity for the letter Ff is pretty fun. Students use glue to make a fireworks design and then you sprinkle salt on top of it. Once that all dries, use watercolor paint to dab color onto each line. The salt absorbs the paint slowly, so it looks like the firework is exploding in front of your eyes.

It does take some time to dry the glue/salt. I also learned you really need to load their brush with water. So keep that in mind if you try this preschool activity at home.
