Rainbow Rain Stick St. Patrick’s Day Craft

Resources

• kitchen towel tubes
• paint or coloured paper
• paintbrush
• glue
• scissors
• tinfoil
• rice

Instructions

• Ensure each Ladybird has a kitchen towel tube.
• Ask the Ladybirds to cut squares of tinfoil large enough to wrap around the end of the tube and apply masking tape to the ends of the tube
• Next, the Ladybirds should glue the foil in place and then secure it by wrapping the masking tape around one of the ends of the tube.
• Next, it is time to add the rice. Ask the Ladybirds to add 2-3 spoonful of rice to the tube. Repeat the steps above to seal the other end of the tube.
• When the tube is sealed at both ends, it’s time to start decorating the rain sticks. Ask the Ladybirds to cut a piece of black card, long enough to wrap around the end of the tube. They will also need to cut a circle out of the black card to cover the bottom of the tube (covering the foil). Glue the circle first and then glue the card over the end of the tube.
• Using the colours of the rainbow, the Ladybirds can either paint their rain stick or glue coloured card to the tube. If the Ladybirds are painting the tube, ensure that it is completely dry before moving onto the next step.
• The Ladybirds should prepare the cotton wool balls by slightly ripping them apart to make them less puffy. Using glue, the Ladybirds can decorate the top of their rain stick with the cotton balls.
• Let the Ladybirds glue around the top of the black card. Before the glue dries, they need to stick on the gold pipe cleaner or wool. If they have more than one piece, they can layer up to make it appear like there is more gold at the end of the rainbow.
• Now that the rain stick is finished, they can shake it and show it off.
