A St. Pat's Day Rainbow Craft

Tissue paper in a rainbow of colors cut into little squares plus 9 by 18 white paper plus paint brushes and glue equals pretty calm rainbow craft and tissue paper all of our house all weekend long.  Totally worth it.

I drew the rainbow arches on the paper and wrote the color words with the appropriate color marker so the kids could be independent with the project.  I would recommend using a smaller piece of construction paper because this project did take a long time.  We came back to it at different points all weekend which was nice but messy.  G stuck with the project for about 20 minutes on Satureday and returned to it on Sunday for another 20 minutes.  A spent a lot more time with her rainbow and she still didn't complete all her arches.  The final rainbows look beautiful. 

Below is G's final product.
