How to Make a Paper Plate Rainbow Craft
- Grab your supplies.
- Cut your paper plate in half.
- Cut out strips for the rainbow from red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple construction paper.
- For toddlers use a marker to identify the order of the colours of the rainbow. Invite them to glue down each strip to the bottom of the paper plate.
- Turn the plate over and invite your child to squeeze glue all over the paper plate and then stick cotton balls in the glue. Cover the entire paper plate with cotton balls. I like to fluff out my cotton balls so they go further and they also look fluffier on the craft.
- Add googley eyes to the cotton ball.
- Turn the plate over and attach a piece of string or yarn using tape.
- Hang up cloudy rainbow craft in your child’s room!
