Midweek Creations - Rainbow streamers


St. Patrick's day is tomorrow and what better way to celebrate than with a craft. Toddlers love to tear tissue paper and after finishing their streamers will probably want to dance around with them. Why not introduce them to some wonderful celtic music at the end of this project and of course don't forget to wear green.

What you'll need:

small paper plate
tissue paper in various colors
tape
crayons (black and gold)

First, let your toddler decorate his plate with black and gold crayons. This will become his pot of gold. Once your toddler is done with that, show him how to tear tissue paper into long strips (if they aren't perfect or end up as tiny pieces don't worry; let your toddler do this for the experience and you can tear some long strips while sitting next to them). After you have several strips of tissue paper, fold the paper plate in half and tape them on the inside of one of the open ends taping the entire plate shut into a half circle after you are done. Enjoy!
