One problem with fireworks is how dangerous they are; plus, they are illegal in many states. Luckily, many communities sponsor firework displays. Check with your local newspaper or government to find out about a display near you!
Of course, we wouldn't want to mess around with real fireworks, but here are some fun fireworks you can create safely!
