Day 18- Rainbows

I asked Iris what she wanted to make today, and she immediately asked to make a rainbow.  How much easier could a craft be than rainbows?  Construction paper, cotton balls, and glue: check, check, and check. Better yet, I knew where EVERYTHING was! (Double check! haha)
Of course, nothing is every THAT simple when you're talking about a craft with a 2 1/2 and almost 4 year old.. I wanted to just rip pieces of construction paper, glue them down, stick some cotton balls, on the ends, and DONE.   But, little pieces of paper, glue, and penny just don't mix.  So, I ripped paper for Iris and I and cut various sized 1/2 circles for Penny.  Then all she had to do was take the glue stick, slap some glue on it, and stick it to the paper.  That would be easy right?  Except she wanted NOTHING to do with craft time today.

So, Iris and I sat at the table and glued little pieces of paper in the shape of a rainbow.  She was REALLY into it.  Once we had the paper glued, we stuck the pulled cotton balls on the ends of the rainbow.  Then, Iris decided that she had to have a cotton ball on the "head" of the rainbow, so this is what she was left with.  She was proud of her rainbow though, because as soon as +Mike Lustig walked in the door, she ran to show him.
