Cut paper shape rainbows--kinders!

After assessing how well my kindergarteners used scissors with the butterfly project, I wanted to have them practice a little more. These rainbows were wonderful for that! Anytime I saw someone holding their scissors wrong, I was able to intervene and help. Hopefully it will stick with them. There are many reasons they need to hold their scissors the "right"way, but the main reason is safety.

Through this lesson, I was also able to teach primary and secondary colors. :) I was impressed by how well they already knew the colors of the rainbow!

They loved adding cotton balls to the bottom! They looked like little sheep with glue and cotton sticking all over their hands. It was pretty funny.
