Sun, Rainbow, & Clouds Mobile

Last summer I worked summer camps at the preschool.  It was so much fun...and some weeks I was a little over ambitious with my projects, i.e. the Sun Rainbow Cloud mobile.  The only ambitious part was my stringing and threading 24 of them!!!

This project took about 4 days...

1.  Have adult prep the paper bowl sun.  Staple 2 bowls together.
2.  Kids glue on sun rays and paint both sides.
3.  Kids visited the beading table to bead their "raindrops".
4.  On pre-cut poster board rainbow shapes, the kids used small circular sponges to paint the stripes of the rainbow.
5.  On the other side of the rainbow, we sponged the kids hands, and did a handprint.
6.  On pre-cut poster board cloud shapes, the kids applied a mixture of shaving cream and glue to the clouds.  Then they sprinkled some silver glitter on them.
6.  Everything but the clouds and the "raindrops" gets Mod Podged.
7.  I used a needle and some thread to string all of them up.

The kids LOVE these.  They look cool.  They jazz up any kids room or playroom.  They look great hanging in the classroom.  Your kids made them all by themselves...mostly. :)  Give it a try.
