Make a small rainbow and a pot of gold. A great craft for St. Patrick's Day!

  • Age Guideline: 3 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Cut down the toilet paper roll so it is about 2 inches high. Paint it black. Set it aside to dry.

Cut the paper plate in half. Cut out an arc shape, about 2-inches wide, from the outside edge of the paper plate. Make sure the end of the arc can fit into the hole in the painted toilet paper roll. Paint the arc so it looks like a rainbow.

Once the paint is all dry. Slide one end of the rainbow into the black toilet tissue roll. Glue in place. You now have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! For an added touch, put a line of glue around the top edge of the toilet tissue roll and sprinkle on gold glitter or sequins.
