This is the perfect little (and super simple) spring art activity for young kids – toddlers and preschoolers will love creating this, especially since this art project doesn’t use regular paintbrushes (like this foam flower art).

Your child will get great fine motor skills practice with this game as they are required to use/paint with clothespins and a cotton ball.

Ask the child to clip the cotton balls with clothespins.

If you want to turn this activity into a fine motor activity rather than a painting activity, you can just give your child a clothespin and ask them to change the pompoms for each color they use.Svg%3E

Have your child dip cotton balls in paint and press them onto the fabric.

There are many ways to create a rainbow – you can create a full arch on the fabric or just create half an arch, both versions look pretty cool.

Finished the first color? Move on to the next color and the next and so on until you reach the end of the rainbow. If you are using this art project to teach about the colors of the rainbow, make sure your child uses the right colors, if you are doing this just for fun, the colors don’t matter.
