Cereal-sly Cool Rainbow Craft
What you'll need
- Fruity, colorful cereals (Choose from a variety of different shades, shapes and textures, for example, Magic Spoon’s Fruity cereal, Love Grown’s Truly Fruity Stars, Kellogg’s Fruit Loops, Post Fruity Pebbles, etc.)
- Mini marshmallows

Growing minds need time and space to be creative. When kids engage in hands-on crafts, they’re not just spending time away from a screen, but are activating their imaginations, sharpening their motor skills, practicing self expression and building self esteem. Projects like these can also be a great social peer to peer experience, or fun bonding time with parents.
As a school art project or an after school activity, this simple, yet fun Cereal-sly Cool Rainbow Craft gives kids a chance to learn about and interact with all the colors of the rainbow. So grab a Clover the Rainbow smoothie, and let’s get started!
Instructions:
- Separate each cereal color into various bowls
- Place piece of paper or paper plate on a flat surface
- Squeeze onto paper in an arch, to make the outermost rainbow layer
- Press the red cereal (or whichever color you decide to use first) against the glue arch, filling the outer layer of the rainbow
- Continue the above process until all color layers are created under your first arch
- Once you have finished gluing the cereal to make the rainbow, grab a handful of marshmallows
- Add glue dots at each end of the rainbow
- Press the marshmallows onto the glue to create two “clouds” at the ends of the rainbow
- Keep flat, allowing glue to dry before hanging/displaying
