Rainbow cloud with coloured strips of paper, ideal for the month of March
We made this for the month of March: rain and sun = rainbow. The children loved the activity and the parents were very excited to put them up.
I cut the clouds as the cardboard was thick. I also cut all the strips with the paper cutter. The children had to count the strips and stick them together.
I recommend sittingt with them for the first loop and show that the glue has to go at the END of the strip and when they stick the 2 ends together it has to be straight.
They cut the eyes and mouth themselves (I traced the shapes on black paper with a white pencil).
As you can see, the last 'ring' is stuck a bit differently, so it can be glued on the back of the cloud.
