Materials Required
- White paper
- Black sketch pen
- Cork or cotton ball
- Rainbow coloured paints
Instructions
- Spread some old newspapers before starting this activity to avoid paint spills.
- On a sheet of paper, draw the outline of a cloud and a rainbow coming out of it.
- Next, squirt the seven colours of the rainbow on a plate or a paint palette and set up the activity.
- Give your little one a cork or a cotton ball and show them how to dip it in the paint and press it down on the paper.
5. Let them repeat this step with different colours. If they use a cork, you can wash it when switching from one colour to the next or use different cotton balls for every colour.
6. Once they are done, let the paint dry and your rainbow painting is ready!
