This project looks great and is super easy to make, making it suitable for all ages. Older kids can do it themselves, while younger kids will need some preparation. With a paper cutter, you can make all the parts needed for this project in no time, even if you need a lot of them for a class of arts and crafts enthusiasts. It’s also great for learning the order of the colors of the rainbow.

4. Rainbow Craft Ideas from Sticks and Cotton Balls for Kids

Craft sticks are a must have craft material when it comes to crafting with kids, they are great for all ages – young children will make a simple project like this colourful while older children will be able to use them for all sorts of structures. Paint the sticks in the colours of the rainbow (plus – minus one, depending on what your craft is about – if it’s just for fun then the number doesn’t matter, if it’s about learning then stick to the actual number).
