Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A plain paper plate and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Place the plate on a table. Draw a curved band across its middle and add more curves beneath it.
- Color the bands in colors your child chooses. Add clouds, raindrops, or other details around the rainbow.
- Invite your child to tell a story about the weather in their picture.
Stay beside your child, use intact crayons, and collect torn paper afterward. Never look directly at the sun.
