Rainbow Craft Ideas
Coloring or painting – as the most easy way to decorate your rainbow template just grab your crayons, coloring pencils or markers and use this as a rainbow coloring page. Just coloring it is a good way to help learn the colors of the rainbow and sometimes the easiest ideas are the ones you’ll enjoy most
Mosaic – Fancy something a little bit more than coloring? Cut out small squares or rectangles of colored paper and glue them on to make your rainbow. This can be a good way to practice scissor skills too.
Stickers – Make a simple rainbow craft by grabbing some colored dot stickers and use them to decorate. You could look for different stickers too such as star shapes or gems. Using stickers is great for fine motor skills too and is often a popular option with toddlers and preschoolers.
Nature Rainbow – For a fun rainbow craft that will get you exploring the outdoors too, cover your rainbow template in double sided sellotape and then hunt around your garden or backyard for flowers, leaves and grasses of each color to fill in your rainbow.
Cotton Buds – Dip a cotton bud (Q-Tip) in coloured paint and use this to decorate your rainbow outline.
Lego and Finger painting – check out our post of rainbow crafts for kids to see these three craft ideas in action.
