Here are 2 rainbow projects we did, and both kids enjoyed them very much!
1. Paper Squares Rainbow
Supplies Needed:
- White poster board
- Construction paper
- Cotton balls
- White card stock
- Scissors
- Glue
- Cut rainbow shape out of poster board.
- Cut 2-inch (or so) squares out of colored construction paper.
- Cut 2 cloud shapes out of white card stock.
- Have the kids glue on the squares. Depending on the age/development of the kids, you can either have them put the glue on, or you can do the glue and then have them place the paper squares on the glue.
- Have kids glue cotton balls to the pre-cut clouds.
- Glue clouds on to each end of the rainbow.
- Label each color arc with the name of the color.
- Facts about rainbows (you can talk about the color order, how a rainbow is formed, etc.)
- Spiritual significance of a rainbow (Genesis 9:12-17)
- Color identification
- Color word recognition
Supplies Needed:
- Paper plate
- Brown construction paper cut into a half circle, the same size as half of the paper plate you are using
- Paint and paintbrushes
- Stickers
- Glue
1. Have the child paint a rainbow in the top half of the paper plate. If you have a little one,
like I do, the rainbow might look more like this, and that's okay.=):
3. Have kids pick out animal stickers to put on the ark. Caleb was a bit concerned that there
was no Noah, so you could always add him as well (a sticker or an image printed off of the
computer). If possible, include 2 of each animal, to stress that important part of the story!
Important things the kids can learn:
- Story of Noah and the Ark (Genesis 6-9)
- Color identification
- Order of colors in a rainbow
I got the idea for the Noah's Ark craft from here. I modified it to what would work for my kids (ie: stickers instead of animals printed off the computer that needed to be colored), as well as to what materials we had (ie: no brown paint, so we used construction paper).
