End of the Rainbow

Hailey has been really sick with the flu this week 🙁  She is on day 5 of a fever and a horrible cough.  Yesterday when she was feeling good for a little while she said she wanted to do a craft, so we decided to do this pretty simple one.

 You will need clear contact paper, some sparkly yellow glitter glue, white paper, black paper, tissue paper in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.  (And you may need some yellow paper too if your glitter glue turns out like ours did.)

I cut the contact paper in an arc shape, big enough for the rainbow and for a pot of gold and cloud to fit at the ends of the rainbow.

Hailey put little gold circles on the top of pot to represent the gold.

 She put the pot of gold on the contact paper and then started the rainbow.

 Adding some more ripped up tissue paper.

So we added some yellow paper coins instead.

See our other fun Saint Patrick’s day ideas.

I just started a Facebook and a Pinterest page, so be sure to stop by and follow me.

Pot of Gold

You will need some yellow paint, glitter, paper plate, round object to paint with, black and green construction paper.

Mix the glitter and paint together.  Spread it out nice and thin.

 Cut out a black pot, glue it on the paper and then stamp some shiny gold coins in your pot.

Hailey has been really sick, but fortunately she was able to join us for a little while to make one too.

 I think he had fun… I also think he ate some 🙂

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Hailey and Hunter made this cute Thing 1 and Thing 2 craft that I saw at Seusstastic Classroom.

Hailey did this printable I also found at Seusstastic Classroom.  She wrote, “I would tell the to please cause trouble.”  She said she would tell them that because they always do the opposite.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss 🙂

Count the Stars

 Earlier this week we did a test run of what a homeschooling day would be like since we are considering homeschooling next year.  We had a Bible story as part of our day.  Since Hailey has been learning about Abraham at church I decided to do a lesson about that.  We read the story about when God told Abraham to count the stars and that would be how many descendants he would have.  Hailey did a really simple craft to go with the story.

First Hailey colored stars all over her paper using a crayon.  I wanted her to use a white crayon but she insisted on using yellow.

 Then she painted with black water color all over the page to represent the night sky.  It turned out cute!
