Somewhere Over The Rainbow


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!
