When it’s gloomy out, bring some color to you with this fun rainbow cloud craft! This craft is easy enough for preschool, kindergarten, and first graders to make almost entirely alone. Build scissor skills and fine motor skills with this fun rainbow cloud craft!

Getting the Rainbow Craft for Kids Ready

There isn’t much advanced prep for this craft. Make sure you have the supplies listed below on hand before starting this craft, but it’s likely you already have everything you need in your classroom already. The most unusual item needed for this craft are the Styrofoam bowls. Gather your supplies before completing the craft, but let the kids do the bulk of this one!

Get Ready for the Rainbow Craft for Kids

You will need:

  • Construction paper in red, orange, yellow, green, and blue
  • Cotton balls
  • Styrofoam or paper bowls
  • Glue
  • Scissors

Doing the Rainbow Craft for Kids

Show the kids how to cut strips of paper the same size from red, orange, yellow, green, and blue paper. I cut all five colors at once.

Flip the bowl upside down and glue cotton balls to the entire bottom of the bowl. The secret to a fluffy cloud is to pull apart the cotton balls some to make it look more natural.

 

Flip the bowl over the other way and glue the strips of paper to one side of the bowl.

This makes the rainbow look like it is shooting out from the bottom of the cloud.

Spring is a great time for this Rainbow Craft for Kids! It's a great addition to your color study or weather unit study for kids.

Hang your rainbow clouds from your classroom walls or windows to brighten up long winter days.
