Today the children have been finding out more about Saint Patrick's day and the traditions that surround it.
One of the activities we did today was to make rainbow sum catchers. Our windows have looked bare since we moved house and had to take down the previous displays so I've been keen to fill them again.
You will need:
Paper plates
Coloured cellophane
Sellotape
Scissors
Ribbon or string
Step 1- Cut a paper plate in half then use the scissors the create a clouds puffy effect around the edge. As pictured above.
Step 2- Use a piece of ribbon roughly 20 cm long, fold over to make a lop and fix onto the back using tape.

Step 3- Cut the cellophane into equal lengths, one inch thick. This is the perfect time to discuss the different colours of the rainbow and even sing the song as you stick down the rainbow colours onto your cloud.
That's it, a lovely simple but very effective stain glass rainbow for your window. If you have any (we seem to have lost ours ) you could also add cotton wool balls to your cloud. The children loved seeing the end effect and putting them up against their window.
