Materials Needed:
paper plate/cotton balls/ crayons/glue & scissors/cardstock paper/free rainbow cutout
Rainbow Craft for Preschool!
Step 1: Gather all of your materials and break out the markers and crayons. Be sure to print your rainbow cutout onto cardstock paper. Have your little ones color in each column with the color that matches the dot at the top. You can use markers, crayons, watercolors, stickers, or stamps, to fill in each column. Make it fun! When you’re finished coloring, cut out the square.
Step 2: Next, glue your colorful columns to the back of the paper plate. Then, glue your cotton balls to the front of the paper plate. This is the fun part! Make your cloud as fluffy as you like! Be sure to check out other great spring crafts including the bunny craft and baby chick craft!
Step 3: Once your cotton balls are all in place, add your finishing touches to the rainbow. I couldn’t help myself, I just had to add some glitter! Remember, you can be creative with stamps or stickers that match each color. Print your Rainbow Theme Worksheets for even more rainbow fun!
