Rainbow Dream
by Katrina Lybbert
by Katrina Lybbert
Red, orange, yellow, green,
Blue, indigo, violet dream;
A rainbow brightens the rainy sky,
With magical colors arching high.
Blue, indigo, violet dream;
A rainbow brightens the rainy sky,
With magical colors arching high.
Red, orange, yellow, green,
Blue, indigo, violet dream;
I'll look around each corner and bend,
Till someday I find the rainbow's end.

"Over The Rainbow"
Somewhere
over the rainbow
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
F -And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?
Way up high there's a land I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
F -And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow why oh why can't I?

Rainbow Wind Catchers!!
On a rainy day, what better way to
brighten everyones spirits than with a rainbow wind catcher! They are not

great way to welcome spring!!
Supplies:
paper plates
paint
glue sticks
a stapler
streamers
How To Make Them:
1.
Cut paper plates in half. Have your children paint both halves
of the paper plate (the backside works best).
2.
Allow them to dry.
3.
Cut streamers in half if your child decides to paint
smaller rainbow lines on the plate so that when you add the color of
streamer under the color of paint they line up or let them decide where they
want to place them to create their own masterpiece!
4.
Glue streamers to the inside of both halves of the
plates. Then staple both plates together.
5.
Tie a knot in a loop of yarn and then staple it in when putting
the plates together so that you can hang it!
