First start by drawing seven lines of your rainbow on your paper. Its best to have your child turn their paper horizontal and start with the outside line to make sure they cover most of the paper.. Note: Encourage them to leave space (⅓ of the paper) on the bottom of the paper to add their clouds.

We encourage seven lines which will result in six sections for the rainbow.

Grab your paint samples or scrap paper and any shape hole punches you might have on hand.

For the younger kids, it can be a fun way to learn different shapes by making a different shape for each color.

Using a glue stick start placing your shapes and sequins row by row.

We started with the paint sample shapes in the sections.

Next we added the sequins in between the shapes.

Complete row by row until all rows are completely full

Once each of the rows is filled it is time to add the clouds.

Using craft glue, liberally add glue to the bottom of each end of the rainbow.

Add cotton balls to each of the ends of the rainbow. We approximate each side can take about 8 cotton balls.

Encourage your child that not all the the cotton balls have to fit fully on the page. Some can hang off, giving the clouds a more puffy feel.
