We first made this easy rainbow craft for kids when trying to come up with something for a class St. Patrick’s Day party. I wanted a craft that the kids could bring home and display all spring and thought a rainbow craft was in the St. Patrick’s Day theme but also bright and fun for spring. The 1st graders had fun making these at their party and needed very little help. I also let my 3.5 year old make one and helped him out more. We now have a few of these hanging in our kitchen and they are really so cute. Here’s how to make this easy rainbow craft:
