St. Patrick's Day Projects!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!  
Here are a few rainbow and leprechaun themed ideas for the week! 

Rainbow Marker Prints 

These are favorite in the art room! 
Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th graders did these last year or this year. 
A current fave in the art room are Rainbow Prints.
You need:
Tin Foil
Washable Markers
Spray bottle/Clean Sponge or Towel 
Paper (heavier quality better, but use what you have!)

We used ours to make rainbows but they can experiment with different colors! 

Remember don't mix colors opposite on the color wheel. 

1. Add marker to a square of foil. The marker will rub off very easily so work from top to bottom. 


2- Spray your paper with a few squirts of water or carefully dampen with a sponge or lay a damp cloth on top. The goal is to get the paper moist enough to pick up (pull a print) the marker on the foil.
3-Place wet paper onto rainbow print and rub the center, edges and corners.
4-Peel and reveal!!
If you need a how to, this is what I have used (not my video!)
