About This Collection
A raised torch with a flame sits among bursts and simple stars, and the Statue of Liberty stands under the same sky.
Smaller scenes put fireworks in kids' hands. Two boys stand in a backyard with sparklers, and Uncle Sam holds a sparkler beside a small flag and large stars. The New Year pages light up cities around the world: Fireworks over Dallas with a cowboy hat, over Japanese landmarks, over Los Angeles and Miami with palm trees, and over New York with the Statue of Liberty. A last page has cats, dogs and rabbits celebrating under fireworks with gifts and confetti.
A single burst over a skyline is simple enough for ages 5 and up. The city celebration pages carry families, taxis, gifts and decorations, which suits ages 7 and up. Use a dark blue or black crayon for the sky and leave the bursts white until the end.
Fireworks Coloring FAQ
What makes fireworks different colors?
Different metals burn with different colors: strontium makes red, barium makes green, copper makes blue and sodium makes yellow.
How do sparklers work?
A sparkler is a stick coated with metal powder that burns hot and throws off sparks. They get very hot, so kids should only use them with an adult close by.
Why do we have fireworks on the Fourth of July?
The first anniversary of independence in 1777 was celebrated in Philadelphia with fireworks. Americans have kept the tradition for the holiday ever since.
Why do people set off fireworks at New Year?
In many cultures, loud noise and bright light were thought to chase away bad luck. Now it's just a big way to welcome the new year at midnight.
Why do we see fireworks before we hear them?
Light travels much faster than sound. The farther away the burst, the longer the boom takes to reach you.
Which New Year celebrations are included?
There are designs for Dallas, Japan, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. The Animals Celebrating New Year with Fireworks design is a silly one for younger kids.
How do I color fireworks so they glow?
Fill the sky with dark blue or purple first, then color the bursts in bright yellow, pink and orange. The contrast makes the colors pop.
