Rainbow Craft

Here are two ideas to create cloud and rainbow inspired art.

Project 1 - Paper Cloud, Sun and Rainbow

Materials

  • White paper
  • Coloured paper (optional)
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Pens

Method

  1. Draw a cloud shape on a piece of white paper.
  2. Cut out the cloud shape.
  3. If using coloured paper, cut strips of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple paper. If you only have white paper, cut strips and colour in each strip a colour of the rainbow.
  4. Glue the strips to the back of the cloud cut out. Leave to dry.
  5. Draw a face on the front of the cloud.
  6. Draw a sun on a piece of yellow paper (or draw and colour in a yellow sun on white paper).
  7. Glue the yellow sun onto the back of the cloud cutout, so part of the sun is showing.

Project 2 - Stick Craft Cloud and Rainbow

Materials

  • Coloured paddle pop sticks (you can use uncoloured sticks and colour them in using pens or paint)
  • Craft glue
  • A4 piece of cardboard (from an old box is fine)
  • Cotton wool
  • Small pom poms (optional)
  • Pen

Method

  1. Line up the paddle pop sticks vertically (up and down) and then glue two sticks horizontally (side to side) across them.
  2. Draw a cloud on the cardboard, then cut it out.
  3. Glue pieces of cotton wool to the cloud cutout.
