Colorful Rainbow Crafts for Kids
Craftwork is not limited to kids, in fact, it’s not confined to any age limit. By doing craftwork our creativity increases. We are in school, and college and mostly spend our days in reading and writing alone. This action connects to the left brain which is the logical side of the brain. The right hand relates to the left brain and most people are right-handed people. Then how do we activate the right hemisphere of our brain which deals with visuals, art, creativity, imagination, feelings, etc? Balancing both will be great, won’t they? Then why don’t we start this process from the initial stage itself? With this kind of craftwork, we can make kids engage fully and can spend more time with them instead of allowing them to dwell on mobile phones. Replace mobile with craftwork through which they’ll do physical activity. Every kid loves nature so let’s start our craftwork from that. Especially different dark colors will attract them. Let’s think about where we can see various colors of attractive natural phenomena. Got it! it’s nothing other than that RAINBOW!…. Here you can see a bunch of rainbow craftwork for toddlers, preschoolers, and small-age kids. Try to create crafts with the things existing in your home. If you recycle things like these it’ll make your kid think innovative and they used to recycle waste things and come up with wonderful ideas.

To do this you need Perler beads, circle pegboards, iron, and a keychain hook. Arrange the beads in the shape of a rainbow with different colors on the pegboard. Use unique colors for each layer of the rainbow and add white beads at the start and end of the rainbow to make clouds.

Then you’ll get the shape and you have two ways to attach the keychain. One is removing one or two beads before ironing to make space for a keychain. The second is to make a hole after ironing the beads with a hammer or some other tool. It’s best to go with the first type. That’s all!
Rainbow Wand
You don’t need any fancy items to buy. You can create this rainbow wind with the things available in your home. The requirements are stiff felt or cardboard, colored ribbons, glue, any wooden stick, star cookie cutter or scissor, and colored paper. Take cardboard or felt and cut it with a star cookie cutter, if you don’t have a cookie cutter then you can draw a star shape in the cardboard and cut smoothly with scissors. Paste a glittering paper preferably white color and highlight the border color with some glitter. Keep that aside and let’s work on the bottom part of the craft. Take a wooden stick with at least 20cm and if you want to color then do it. If you have color ribbons then cut them to the length of the stick or else you can use unwanted clothes. Now paste the ribbon and stick it to the back side of the star. We are ready with our wonderful craft.

Be ready with different colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Pour the paint into small cups. Give old useless toothbrushes to your kid and ask him/her to dip the brush and draw an arc on the white paper.

You can buy kinetic sand online or else you can make it in your home. White sand, corn starch, hand soap, and water. Add white sand and corn starch in one bowl and add water and hand soap in another bowl. Now add this color to the sand and stir well. The measurement is up to you based on how you want the consistency of the sand. If you want moldable sand then use sand, baby powder, and vegetable oil instead of soap and corn starch. Do this for other colors too and instruct your kid to make a shape. Collage the rainbow colors of sand on the plate and draw shapes like stars, and butterflies on that. This can be done by toddlers, and preschoolers and make sure they won’t put that into their mouths.
