An easy paper fireworks craft for kids to make for New Year’s Eve.

Just a few more days and we’re entering a New Year. So let’s get ready for some fireworks crafts that kids can easily make on their own.

Our fireworks come in the shape of stars and use colorful paper strips to go around them. A great craft to use paper scraps, left over from other crafts.

If you have paper plates at hand you may also want to take a look at this New Year craft. It uses paper plates and yarn and it is a wonderful first sewing activity for kids.

Or if you want for kids to do some thinking about the new year as well as some writing, this New Year resolution craft will help them do both.
