Let’s get started.

Materials Needed

Step-By-Step Instructions

• Hand out 3-5 different colors of construction paper and one glue stick to each child.
• Have the child choose a piece of cardboard or a sheet of white paper for their backdrop.
• Have each child rip their colored sheets of paper into 1″-2″ inch size squares.
• Have each child take their pencil and draw an outline of a rainbow on their cardboard/sheet of paper.
• Now they can take their glue sticks and apply glue to the backs of their 1″-2″ squares and glue them onto the outline of their Rainbow.
