With more and more people trying to find ways to spend time outdoors during these crazy COVID times we know a lot of people have been gathering with close friends around a fire pit. We did the same over Thanksgiving Break and took it to the next level!
My soccer mom friends and I always share fun products, gift ideas, etc. and one day someone brought up color changing flames! I was so intrigued and it sounded not only like something fun to see, but also a fun outdoor activity for the kids.
These ColorGlo Flame Crystals can be used to change the color of your flames to a pretty blue and purple. You could just toss some of them in the fire, but the effects would only be brief. To make the color last a bit longer, you can coat pinecones with the crystals and let the kids toss them in the fire. It only takes a few items and it's fun for everyone!
Step 1: Have kids collect pinecones.
Step 2: Spray pinecones with adhesive spray.
Step 3: Shake pinecones in a paper bag with the flame crystals until coated.
Step 5: Toss coated pinecones in the fire and watch the beautiful result!
We loved seeing the colorful flames in our fire and got a kick out of how pretty they were. It was certainly a fun activity for the kids (and us moms, too!) so if you are looking for something different to do over the upcoming holiday break, this would be a fun one!
