Fireworks Cupcake Liner Craft

I love cupcake liners and always have more than I need for baking. Luckily, they work great for crafts and scissor skills practice as well! I love that they are fluted, offering kids a natural guide for cutting.

This fireworks craft is super easy to prep with just a few supplies that you likely have on hand. We used red, white, and blue cupcake liners for a patriotic theme, but fireworks come in all colors, so feel free to substitute other colors and use what you already have!

Directions:

The instructions for this fireworks craft are really easy and require hardly any prep!

Simply lay out the cupcake liners and scissors, and instruct kids to cut slits into the liners. The cupcake liners are fluted providing the kids with a guide for cutting.

The center (or bottom or the liner) also has a line circling it. Instruct kids to cut just to this line.
