How To Color A Campfire

September 26th, 2008

Want to put a spin on your campfire traditions? Nature For Kids has an idea…try adding some color! Your kids will love it!

You can buy packets of a variety of chemicals called Mystical Fire. You simply sprinkle it over the campfire.  Go here to buy Mystical Fire. It’s about $57 for 50 packets.

If you’re not thrilled about spending that much, head over to About.com . There are specific instructions there on how to color a campfire by using pinecones and simple store-bought supplies. They tell you how to get colors anywhere from green to violet!

Here’s a short video that’s a great example of how different elements can change the color of fire.

This is a great activity for kids. Have a great time! Oh and I would recommend not cooking any food over the campfire when doing this…you never know what could be going in there!
