How To Make a Cereal Rainbow

Gather all your supplies for your Cereal Rainbow craft.
Cut a paper plate in half.
Ask your child to sort the cereal into piles according to colour.
Using the blue crayon, have your child colour the bottom half of the paper plate blue.
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.
Keep going, you’re almost done your Cereal Rainbow craft!
Once they finish glueing the last row on, ask them to count how many rows they created for their Cereal Rainbow craft.
When all colours have been glued, glue the mini marshmallows at each end as clouds.
