How to Make this Paper Plate Rainbow Kids Craft
Step 1: Prepare Paper Plate
Cut your paper plate in half. We used a dinner size plate as the colors fit better.
Step 2: Colors of the Rainbow
Using your paint brush, paint your curved rainbow lines starting with the color red and ending with purple. Remember ROYGBIV for your rainbow color order.
Step 3: Puffy Clouds
Use our free white cloud template to cut out two clouds and glue to either end of your rainbow.
Classroom or Homeschool Tips:
- This project may create a simple rainbow BUT it packs a lot of learning in one colorful rainbow. This project helps preschoolers practice color recognition, rainbow color order, and fine motor skills with painting, cutting and gluing.
- Don’t want to cut out the clouds? Glue cotton balls to the ends of your rainbow for a different look!
- Swap paint for colored tissue paper that they have to glue to the different sections. You can also use crayons to color the various hues of the rainbow.
- Cut out raindrop shapes from blue paper and glue behind the end of the clouds to look like a rainbow after a storm.
- This makes for a wonderful Bible activity after a homeschool or Sunday School lesson of Noah and the Flood.
So, let’s gather our crafting aprons and together, we’ll paint rainbows, share giggles, and create memories that will brighten even the rainiest days. Here’s to the joy of crafting and the boundless imagination of our little ones!
