Celebrate Saint Patrick's Day with Science
Looking for a science related craft for Saint Patrick's Day? Are you learning about the weather and need a craft? How about a rainbow craft?
Add a rainbow craft to your next weather lesson or weather unit. This simple craft lets young students cut and paste and color. Students will cut out the sun, paste the sun rays, glue cotton balls to the cloud (you will need 14 cotton balls for each student or you can use a dauber or bingo marker), and color the colors of the rainbow. This is great for working with learning colors too. (This craft uses purple instead of indigo and violet since those colors are not in the 8 pack of crayons.) This weather craft makes a great bulletin boards too so be sure to display them. You can find this weather rainbow Here

Fall Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Craft for Fall Activities
Sequencing cards for the life cycle of a pumpkin are a must to teach young children.
I combined the two ideas and created this sequencing life cycle of a pumpkin craft. It's a great looking 3-D pumpkin that will look great in your classroom this fall for Halloween and even Thanksgiving too. It will work well for a craft on Halloween day that all parents will approve.
I even added a life cycle of a pumpkin poster to use with this life cycle of a pumpkin lesson.
