Why this firework burst is so special
Lots of narrow rays shoot out from the center in every direction, with big and small stars tucked in between. Little circles float around the edge like glowing sparks. Right in the middle, a tiny friendly face with big eyes peeks out. A small cloud holds it all up at the bottom – an almost calming page for older kids who love coloring patterns.

Where do firework colors come from?
Firework colors come from tiny amounts of metal salts that glow when they burn. Strontium makes red, copper makes blue and sodium makes yellow. A bright, strong blue is known as one of the hardest colors to make. Many fireworks look round because the glowing stars fly out evenly in all directions – creating a ball of light that looks like a flower from the ground.
Fun ideas with the firework burst
