3 Rainbow themed crafts

Toddler friendly rainbow themed activities to use for weather projects or as St Patrick’s day activities

Rainbow streamers

You will need:

  • A paper plate per child
  • paper strips (party crepe ribbon works well) or wide ribbons in rainbow colours
  • staples or glue (staples work best)

What to do:

  1. Cut out the centre of the plate using a craft knife or scissor making a large ring.
  2. Tie the ribbons to one end of the plate by looping them through the ring.
  3. Staple the ribbons to make sure they are secure.
  4. Children can hold the ring shapes (on the end where there is no ribbon atached) and dance or run with the streamers flying behind them.

* painting the paper plates gold or using gold plates makes them a little more special

Handprint rainbow

You will need:

  • Paint in the rainbow colours:  red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo and violet.
  • white paper
  • glue
  • a large sheet of card or paper to stick the completed rainbow onto.

What to do:

  1. Paint your child’s hand with a colour and have them print their hand onto some white paper. Allow this to dry and cut out each hand shape.
  2. Repeat this for all the colours
  3. Once all colours are done and cut out, create an arch shape on the large backing sheet by sticking the hands on in rows.

*For fun, you could cut a large golden pot shape and attach it to the end of the rainbow.

* this also looks great behind a large Noah’s ark

Pot o’ gold

You will need:

  • Gold card or foil cut into circles (for coins)
  • A large piece of black paper (or painted black) cut into a pot shape
  • glue
  • gold glitter

What to do:

  1. Stick the large pot shape onto a large piece of paper
  2. glue the coins at the top of the pot and have some spilling out over the edge and onto the ground next to the pot.
  3. Dab some glue onto the gold coins and around the pot.
  4. Sprinkle on the glitter for some sparkle.

At some point in my teaching career I came to realise how little ‘real’ information there was for parents. I would get the same questions from friends and parents mainly about keeping the children learning and engaged and this only increased when I gave birth to my daughter. Read more about me and what motivated me to start Toddlebabes.
