With St. Patrick's Day around the corner,
I wanted to do a little festive craft with the girls.
We didn't have much extra time, so it needed to be quick and easy.
Meaning- no mess and I could fix lunch while they were busy.
So this is what we made
Here's the supplies we used:
Tissue paper and clear contact paper.
Does it get any easier?
I just taped the contact paper to the table and they stuck the
tissue squares in a rainbow shape.
When they had all their color on,
we cut around the edges.
Maggie's was a very 'free style' rainbow.
Of course her teacher thinks it's perfect.
We love the way the sun shines through the colors.
A happy addition to our classroom.
Hope you have a colorful day!
So cute! I love all of your crafty ideas and do so many of them with my own children!
