Parachuting Rainbows!

para-1.gif (9629 bytes)Coralie cut some Rainbow shapes from cards which we coloured in. We then stuck a paper tabard on to the Rainbows.  Coralie had already cut lots of wool up into lengths which we stuck on to the para-2.gif (11219 bytes)backs of the rainbows.  We tied the other end onto paper towels and stuck a bit of blue tack on to their backs to make them a bit heavier.

Coralie's notes:

The paper dolls were cut from card and were about 10cm high.  I cut the tabards out from paper before the meeting to save time.  I found the best material for the parachutes was kitchen paper, 1 sheet per rainbow.

The wool was cut into lengths of about 20cm, 4 per parachute.  Wool was easier for the rainbows to glue onto their dolls but cotton would have been lighter.
