Art Work - Fireworks lights!

We were given a school project for the month of June and it was themed - "Bottles".

Me and Trev were briefed on how we can make use of this project to teach Victoria. We can have an option of reading her books, show her different shapes and sizes, prepare a scrap book, whatever we decide to do, it will be her show and tell. As you all know, I'm not very much into DIY.... mainly because buying is the faster way *opps. 

I thought long and hard on how to let V had a "WOW" moment when is her time to show and tell. I mean don't we all live to have that wow moment. Or is it just me? Or maybe its just my parenting style, if I bother to do it, I better do it with a POW!!!

So here is what we did and it NOT expensive to do, but yes you guessed it, we did spend more that I should.

Materials: 

1. Plastic mineral bottle 

2. Permanent markers 

3. Child friendly scissors 

4. Wired bulbs

5. Batteries 

simple set up for the kiddo

Cut the bottle into 1/2 and get the kiddo to clean the insides

Use the marker to colour - doesn't matter if its inside or outside

I didn't like this marker coz the ink didn't flow very well.

Got tough after a while

we change it to a the regular boring permanent marker but the colour came out easier

We cut it and had it shaped like fireworks! The grandpa took over by helping us attach the bulb to the bottle screw top. He cut a hole and inserted the bulb. With that done, he attached it to the decorated bottles and this is the final product. He got it all attached to battery pack instead of a electrical plug. 

Baby Kate was in awe by the pretty lights

We are very proud of our 1st every artwork - fireworks lights!!! Oh just to share, the rest of her classmates (in fact a lot didn't submit) brought books and different sizes of bottles, but she did awesome!! Isn't it obvious Victoria rocked her show and tell? She said her friends kept on "wow" "wowing" her work!
