Fruity O's Rainbow

Laziness Nixed.

Fun Revived!

This craft was not planned and was on a day 

Henry was feeling particularly lazy.

Everything was 'Nooooo....'

Or 'Not now....'

Or 'I'm busy' 

(as he lays around some more).

So I pulled out some Fruity Cheerios 

and drew a rainbow in those colors (there's only 5...)

[I cheated and used a plate to start my rainbow, 

then spaced the other lines out the size of a Cheerio.]

This was definitely a collaborative effort. 

For one : see above laziness.

And two : The glue tended to dry too fast for Henry to get the Cheerios on.

Henry matched up the colors of the Cheerios 

to the outline of the Rainbow.

I glued little by little as we went along. 

Henry did the entire rainbow for the most part with the occasional push from me to keep going 

(again, see above laziness).

Once he got going though, he really enjoyed it.

Henry snitched the occasional double Cheerio.

Along with some broken ones.

He was very good about not eating the good ones.

After the Rainbow was complete, 

we added some clouds.

Tore up cotton balls 

and glued them on each end of the Rainbow.

I cannot tell you how proud Henry is of his rainbow.

Another 12x12 masterpiece!

Somewhere over the Rainbow.

[I won't go into what that means to me right now,

but for those of you that already know...]

This rainbow will be staying up in the house long past St. Patty's Day.
