Paper Plate Rainbows
We are crazy for rainbows and cuteness here! If you’re looking for a sweet and simple activity for the mid-term break, you can turn the humble paper plate into a vibrant rainbow. This activity can provide children with a sensory experience as they decorate their rainbows, and follow it up with singing Sing a Rainbow together.
This activity is fun for:
- Birthday party craft
- Holiday craft
- Sensory activity
- Baby interaction (sing rainbow songs and wave the rainbow cloud about)
- Bedroom decor
