- Scissors
- Glue
The Steps:
- Prepare all the materials and make sure you already have a complete set of the seven color construction papers.
- Cut the construction papers into strips. Cut all the seven construction papers – one paper is one color of the rainbow. After that, draw two cloud shapes on the white construction paper and cut them out.
- Put the construction paper in order, based on the colors of the rainbow, and glue them. As a reminder, the order of the colors is purple, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Then, glue all the strips at the middle of the cloud and secure them with the duct tape. Glue both sides of the rainbow or both ends of the rainbow on the clouds. Secure them with duct tape.
- Before arching the rainbow, fold the strips of the colorful papers along with the duct tape. Look at the picture to see how it’s done.
- Next, put enough glue on both clouds. For this, you can also use school glue. Both can work well. After that, add cotton balls at the clouds. Make sure that you place the cotton balls at the par of the cloud which is exactly under the rainbow. Doing this will help you hold the arched shape of the rainbow. Repeat the process on the other cloud.
