Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I was very inspired by this lesson, and I used the circle rainbow idea as a step one in my preschool art class. I have referenced your post in my blog
Thanks! Hillary

In reply to Esen Bozkaya. Fabulous, Esen! I'm so glad your students loved the process. Sounds like you integrated a lot of learning into the activity. What a wonderful teacher you must be. Thanks so much for following along with me. I love that you're enjoying our activities and using them as inspiration in your classroom. x

This was a fantastic idea to use in my ESL pre-school classroom. I teach 18 five year olds in Istanbul so we split them into two groups as we made the rainbows BIG (on A2 card). The children were really enthusiastic and it was a perfect opportunity to practise colour vocabulary. Once they had dried we cut them out; cut them in half (introducing the word semi-circle and then using a template the children cut out a butterfly shape. This meant each child had a radiant rainbow and a beautiful butterfly. What followed was really awesome…lots of racing each other around the room with their butterflies (mainly the boys) and introducing their butterflies to one another (mainly the girls). I love your ideas and the challenge of adapting them to work in my busy (sometimes crazy) classroom Thank you for the inspiration.

These are so SO so CUTE!!! I love them and would be so honored if you would be wiling to link them up to my St. Patty’s day linky party.

Great idea! Perfect craft for my son’s snow day. My six year old and two year old had fun creating rainbows and the bunting is now hanging on our mantle.

In reply to jessicalehman. Thanks, Jessica. You'll find lots of creative craft ideas if you have a look around my blog! I just popped over to yours. I didn't spend a lot of time there, but I LOVED what I did see. Your photography skills and your passion for the camera was enough to make me click "follow"! I can't wait to see what you're up to!

I love it. I may have to try this one next week, if I can get my little ones to do it. Great decoration for my very colorful Daycare room.

So pretty!! I am laughing at myself bc I thought I was being “so” original with my rainbow idea that my daughter and I are doing today, and here I see one very similar. Our’s is a bit different, but it shows that great minds think alike. =) The rainbow garland is gorgeous!!! I bet

On an unrelated note, I noticed the yogurt containers in your background. We use yogurt containers for outdoor play too. When we go to our public park’s sandbox, I bring a supply of them, and we end up being the most popular family at the park. And I don’t have to worry about them getting lost.

I love that you turned it into garland. I personally like the muddled colors. The ground is always muddy after rain when there’s a rainbow! 🙂

I thought the circles were quite pretty but then i saw the rainbow bunting – wow! I really hope I can get my 2 year old to do this. I NEED rainbow bunting.
