Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

St. Patrick’s Day is this Saturday, do you have party plans? It is Spring Break for everyone around here including my parents so we are taking a little mini vacation (a much needed vacation!) so we won’t be having a party. Instead, I thought I would share some rainbow inspiration from past Giggles Galore parties and crafts.

I made a fruit rainbow complete with marshmallow clouds and a pot of gold for our first St. Patrick’s Day party

My kids had so much fun crumbling tissue paper and making this fun rainbow craft.

My kids LOVE their special Muffin Tin lunches and this rainbow muffin tin was one of their favorites.

I’ve seen lots of fun rainbow inspiration and I’ve added it to my St. Paddy’s Day Pinterest board.

Are you planning a St. Patrick’s Day party of have a fun kids craft to share, leave me a comment I’d love to see what you have planned!

I haven’t done much for St. Patrick’s Day this year. I’m sure I have some decorations in the attic somewhere and of course I have lots of ideas in my head for a party, but like I said I haven’t done much.

Aubrey woke up early this morning and bounced into my room while I was checking my favorite blogs. She saw this rainbow craft and declared that she loved it and wanted to make one just like it. Great idea, it’s easy, fun and we had everything on hand.

We got out our tissue paper, scissors and glue. I set the kids to work tearing tissue paper while I drew a rainbow. I decided to help out and cut the tissue paper into squares because the twins insisted on tearing the paper into itsy bitsy teeny tiny pieces.

I was in charge of the glue (after our last craft disaster…glue and glitter everywhere!) and the kids crumpled their paper and stuck it on the glue. This was a great project for everyone and they had lots of fun. We also talked about rainbows and how they are made while working on the project.

We added some fluffy white clouds and now we have a bright and cheerful rainbow. Aubrey wants to add a pot of gold, so maybe that will be our next craft!
