How Do You Make This Macaroni Rainbow Cloud Craft?
Supplies:
- rainbow colored macaroni (here’s a step by step guide)
- paper plate/cardstock/white paper
- glue
- scissors
Step 1: Cut a cloud shape out of a paper plate or a piece of cardstock.
Step 2: Cut 6 strips of cardstock or white paper, then glue them to the back of the cloud.
Step 3: Add glue to a strip of paper, and place the colored macaroni on it to create one of the rainbow’s stripes. Repeat with all of the colors.
Notes:
- Tape this craft on the wall as is, or punch a hole in the top of the cloud and attach a string to hang it up with.
- There are usually 7 colors in the rainbow, but this sheet only has space for 6 because indigo is a hard color to replicate in colored macaroni. If you do happen to make an indigo color, simply add another row of colored macaroni at the beginning or end of the rainbow.
- This is a great way for your kids to learn the colors and the order of them in the rainbow.
- For another learning opportunity, you could use colored markers to either write the color or make dots in the different stripes of the rainbow. Then, ask your child to match the macaroni to the correct color.
- For an even bigger challenge, mix the rainbow macaroni up in a bowl and ask your child to sort the colors before starting this craft project.
