Gather all your supplies for your Cereal Rainbow craft.

Starting at the outer edge, have your child glue cereal along the arc of the plate, using a different colour for each row.
Be sure to leave space at the bottom for the marshmallow clouds.
Add some learning to the craft by having them count how many pieces of cereal each row uses.
Have a discussion on why each row is using fewer pieces.
