DIY Rainbow Decor for Kids

These are super cute, easy to make and would

make great Valentine decorations. Grab your kiddos

and supplies and have some fun for a bit.

What you'll need:

rainbow coloured paper

scissors

PVA glue

bright coloured ribbon

pegs

Create:

Begin by cutting the coloured paper into 3cm

wide strips. To make a rainbow decoration like ours,

you’ll need two strips in each of the following colors: purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red

paper strips. But you can mix and match different

colors together depending on what you have at home.

Now you need to cut the rainbow of paper strips

into varying lengths. If you want to have purple

on the outside, that should be the longest strip

and every color after that needs to be at least

2cm shorter than the last.

On one of the shortest red strips, dab a little glue

on the ends and press together to form a

tear shape. Continue dabbing glue onto the

ends of the orange strip and form the tear

shape this time around the red one. Repeat until

you’ve used up all the colors in that set of strips.

Create a second teardrop with the rest of the

rainbow paper strips.

Between gluing you might need to use the pegs

to keep the teardrop base together, or simply place

the pegs on at the end whilst the glue dries.

Once dry, remove the pegs. Cut a length of ribbon

to about 30cm and fold in half to create a loop.

Apply some glue on one side of each of the teardrops

and sandwich the ribbon in-between. Press the

teardrop shapes together until they look like a heart

and peg together to dry.

Once dry, remove the pegs. Cut a length of ribbon

to about 30cm and fold in half to create a loop.

Apply some glue on one side of each of the teardrops

and sandwich the ribbon in-between. Press the

teardrop shapes together until they look like a

heart and peg together to dry.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos.

If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
