The present invention discloses treading firecracker. Raw materials of the treading firecracker comprise: 2-8% wt of starch, 1-7% wt of magnesium sulfate, 2-8% wt of potassium chlorate or potassium permanganate, 17-23% wt of haematitum, 43-49% wt of silica and 17-23% wt of phosphorus. The treading firecracker is prepared through the following steps: carrying out steps of sieving, mixing, water adding and stirring for the raw materials to prepare viscous emulsion; then extruding the viscous emulsion into strips, then carrying out slitting, drying and coloring to prepare the treading firecracker. According to the present invention, the treading firecracker kindling does not require a kindling material for igniting, and the treading firecracker does not need to be thrown on a hard object and collided with the hard object, such that the generation of finger burning can be avoided, the fire disaster can further be avoided. The treading firecracker does not contain sands, such that the splashing of the sands can not be generated, and the human body and the property can not be damaged. In addition, the treading firecracker has characteristics of convenient operation and use, good igniting effects of happiness, appreciation and the like, safety and reliability, and especially be suitable for the children to be played with.
