Light-Up Fireflies

This was a fun before-bedtime craft that Emily enjoyed. It’s easy, and mess-free too! She loved seeing all the fireflies light up in the picture!

To make your own light-up fireflies, you will need: black construction paper, yellow tissue paper, scissors, chalk, and tape.

 Cut holes out of the black construction paper for the bodies, and invite your child to draw wings and antenna using chalk.


Next, flip the paper over and cover the holes with yellow tissue paper. Attach with tape as shown.

Hold the picture up to a light source and the fireflies will light up!
