I love talking about colors at storytime. If you couldn't tell from my blog, I love rainbows... a color themed storytime is pretty much just an excuse for me to talk about rainbows.
Craft:
We made tissue paper rainbows. I printed a rainbow template on cardstock & then had different colors of tissue paper for the kids to decorate their rainbow. I tried to influence them to put glue on one section of the rainbow at a time & use all of the same colors.
I think the kids had a lot of fun, but it was a little time consuming. Prepping for the craft was very time consuming since I cut out a lot of little squares of tissue paper. If I had to do it again, I would have had a smaller collection of colors to choose from. It was a fun craft, though. I wish more kids had been there!
