My daughter loved our fruit loop rainbow craft so much, that I decided to do another rainbow craft with her. After completing her rainbow words in Kindergarten, my daughter has been in love with everything rainbow. She even knows the order of the colors and corrected me when I almost traced them out wrong on her paper. Today we will show you How to Make a Rainbow with Craft Sticks for Kids.
Learning all of her Rainbow Words was a great accomplishment for my daughter. Each color of the rainbow had 20 words for her to learn. When they completed a color, that color was added to their rainbow at school. This makes for a super motivational tool for most kids, filling in their rainbow and keeping up with the other students. Though my daughters class went beyond the basic colors of the rainbow. They did: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, and white. With a total of 180 words learned!
When it comes to most crafts, I love using things I already own to make them. We had every item in the craft room to make this simple and fun
