"Keep it Simple, Sweetie" with Craft; Rainbow drawing


 This is great fun to make with the Kids and then great to use.

You will need;

Coloured paper
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Container
Salt

Method

Choose about five pieces of coloured paper. Nice and bright and different from each other.
Work out how big you need them to fit into the container you have. The container needs to be a baking tray or similar size.
Cut the paper to fit the container.
 Stick them all together on the edge......

so they end up like this. I them laminated them so they would last longer but this is not necessary.
 Get the container you are going to use. I made one out of two boxes I had.
 Place the coloured paper inside.


 Add the salt until it totally covers the coloured paper.




Now start drawing in it. As the kids draw they see the colours coming through. This was great with my son who is just learning his colours. He was able to really concentrate on each colour as he could see it.
 Draw your name or.....
 a beautiful picture.
So FUN. xx

  1. I love the rainbow effect. What a great activity for kids to practice writing their name and a lovely sensory experience too. Thanks for sharing, you have so many great ideas :)
