What You'll Need:
Black Construction paper
Tempera paints
Paper towels
Glitter
Use black construction paper and make fireworks using scouring
pads that you use to wash your pots and pans. Mix tempera paint in a tray and add paper
towels to make a stamp pad. The paper towel should be wet, but not soaking.
Touch the scouring pad to the paper towel and press on paper. Gold tempera really looks spectacular. Use white
and red as well, and add glitter to the paint. It is a great effect on the black
paper.
