FROOT LOOPS RAINBOW CRAFT
What I love about rainbow crafts for kids is that they give kids the chance to work on fine motor skills and some important early learning skills. I’ve also discovered that it’s a craft the kids continue to enjoy even as they get older!
MY LATEST VIDEOSI guess using your favorite cereals to get creative is something you never outgrow!
MATERIALS NEED FOR RAINBOW CRAFTS
- Fruit Loops cereal
- Corn Pops cereal
- 1 sheet blue construction paper
- 1 sheet black construction paper
- Cotton balls
- Glue
- Scissors
- Empty egg carton (to sort cereal by color)
Kellogg’s Froot Loops
Kellogg’s Corn PopsConstruction PaperWhite Cotton Balls
WHAT YOU DO
- Sort Fruit Loops by color into different cups, bowls, or sections of an empty egg carton.
- Cut out a cauldron shape from the black construction paper.
- Glue black cauldron at the bottom of one side of the construction paper.
- Glue cotton balls on the other side of the paper.
- Glue corn pops on top of the cauldron to create a pot of gold.
- Draw a curved line with the glue. Then cover with red Fruit Loops.
- Repeat with all colors of Fruit Loops in rainbow color order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)
- Let glue dry.
This would also be great to make on cardstock for a stronger background.
Also, if you use a large amount of glue on the cereal, the pieces do have a tendency to shrink a bit. But it is a great way to practice sorting colors and fine motor skills.
Plus, the cereal makes for a great tasting snack while you get crafty!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR OF THE RAINBOW?
If your kids love Froot Loops cereal you can use them to practice patterning either on paper or use yarn to make bracelets and necklaces. You can even play this fun Rainbow Math Game!
