Upon getting determined how a lot prepping you need to do your self… you may get began! The overall rule: the extra prep, the much less mess and the extra you get performed along with your baby (ie the shorte the exercise).
The Rainbow Paper Craft Prep Work
- Earlier than beginning, you’ll must create a rainbow template. I simply drew a rainbow and clouds on a bit of copy paper for this.
- You may obtain my template right here. (You’ll go to Dwell Properly Play Collectively’s authentic publish for this – it’s a free obtain).
- Write within the names of every coloration for the completely different sections of the rainbow.
- It will permit your little one to establish which coloration goes into which part.
- Lower every coloration of building paper into small items.
- I like to recommend utilizing a paper cutter to chop the pages into strip after which simply slicing the strips into smaller items. They don’t have to all be the identical dimension.
Let’s make a rainbow with paper
- Cowl one part at a time with glue.
- Stick the suitable coloration items on the glue till every part is roofed. Some white area is ok, however every part ought to find yourself principally coated.
- Transfer onto the following part till the rainbow is crammed.
- Cowl the clouds with glue.
- Stretch out (or “tear up” as my toddler says) the cotton balls and stick them to the glue.
I’ll be trustworthy, I’m actually happy with how this one turned out. Little is happy with it, too, which makes me glad.
Notes on consideration spans for various age teams
I’ll say although, that we had to do that venture in a number of sittings as Little was bored with sticking the paper on after the yellow part. We put it away and he was excited to return to it later within the day.
For preschoolers or elementary children, I feel this could possibly be performed in only one sitting.
And as all the time, my normal reminder for crafts at house with children – it doesn’t must be excellent!
