We have been learning about colors and for our Bible time we have been learning about Noah. So, this rainbow sun catcher craft was perfect!
To make this you will need:
-a coffee filter
-water based markers
-cotton balls
-glue
-paint brush
This is what you do: Flatten the filter and cut it in half so that you have a half circle. Now, cut the half circle so that it is shaped like a rainbow. Next, use the water based markers to color a rainbow on the the filter. Next, dilute the glue a bit and use a paint brush to brush the glue over the rainbow. Allow to dry. Once dry, add cotton balls and hang your rainbow sun catcher in a window! (Note: We let ours dry on wax paper. We had to peel the rainbow off the wax paper, but there was a cool rainbow design left behind on the wax paper. Our rainbow turned out fine. The book suggests using a styrofoam tray.)
Karen, glad the rainbow worked out for you!!! We did this one when the little ones were asleep as well! 🙂
Love your blog and this was a perfect craft to do today with my son (5)while my little ones were asleep. Thank you for the idea!
That is super cute. I’ll have to find an excuse to make that.
nice job! I like this craft w/ the Bible lesson. 🙂
