Make this easy rainbow craft a learning opportunity

This craft provides great opportunities for your children to learn kindergarten readiness skills while having fun. They can identify colors, develop fine motor skills, and also practice cutting. If appropriate for your children, you can also have them practice writing their name on their finished craft.

Parents of a young toddler can tailor this craft to their child’s age. Adults can do the cutting and gluing and allow the toddler to place the squares onto the glue.

Here’s how to put the rainbow together. This is so simple!

Cut the colored paper into approximately one inch squares. They do not have to be perfect in any way. You can do this or have your child practice with child-safe scissors.

Glue the colored squares along the rainbow lines (and the clouds too, if the kids want!).

Love this craft! We did something similar last week and it was a little more complex- used paper we shredded and did all of the colors of the rainbow- so the craft project bled into this week. I think I making the rainbow more than the kids (because I think mine was too complicated) and i found myself trying to coerce them into to finishing it. Lol. The conclusion: Simple is always better with little ones. This craft looks like it would have done better.
