Learn to find a rainbow in the clouds!
When it rains it's no fun. But after a rain storm if you look up you can find a rainbow. A rainbow is the bright side of a icky day. It's important to learn to find the rainbow... or make your own.
My rain storm isn't actually rain outside, it's missing my art students. But I have a rainbow. You are sending me pictures of your AMAZING art. That brings my heart so much joy.

Create the Hive
Cut a sheet of bubble wrap to match the size of your white card stock or paper.
Paint the bubble wrap.
When the bubble wrap is completely coated in paint, grab a sheet of white card stock or paper, and place it on top of the painted bubbles, pressing down firmly on the entire sheet of paper.
Carefully remove the paper, turning it over to reveal the beautiful beehive bubble print. Set aside to dry completely. Repeat for more paper.
Once the paint has dried, grab your scissors and start cutting hexagons out of the bubble-printed paper. For an extra punch of color and dimension, feel free to glue each hexagon onto a piece of yellow and/or orange construction paper. Leaving a border of solid color, cut out the hexagons again
