Bonfire Night Fun for Toddlers and Preschoolers.
Why do we Celebrate Bonfire Night?
Across the UK on the 5th of November, people gather and celebrate with bonfires, fireworks and sparklers.
In 1605 there was an attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London to get rid of King James I and his government.
Fawkes was in charge of planting the explosives, underneath the houses of Parliament ready to be detonated on the 5th of November.
King James I's guards heard of the plan and Fawkes was later executed.
