Pot of Gold Paper Plate Lacing

With this adorable rainbow activity, you can help your toddler develop their fine motor abilities. When a child engages in an activity like this, they typically become extraordinarily focused and frequently do not want to be disturbed.

However, because it calls for integrating more than one of the five basic senses, this acceptable motor activity requires their full attention.

Supplies:

• A paper plate
• Rainbow-colored yarn
• Scissors
• A whole punch
• Markers in black and green
• Pony beads in yellow

How to Create:

1. Fold the paper plate in half. Trace the ridged border on most paper plates to create the inside circle. 
2. The pot of gold is a simple circle with a tall, thin rectangle on top. 
3. Any pot shape will suffice if the top rim is wide enough to create six-hole punches. 
4. Use scissors to cut out the shape. Then make six holes—one for each rainbow color—along the top of the pot of gold. 
5. Ensure the holes are equally spaced as you punch them throughout the plate's inner circumference. 
6. Color the bottom of the paper plate green for the grass and the bottom of the pot of gold black.
7. Start by threading through the first pot of gold whole punch with the red yarn.
8. Sporadically weave the yarn through the next hole to fill the pot with gold and add a yellow pony bead. 
9. Use this method with every color in the rainbow; the top of the pot of gold will have a hole for each one.
10. With a knot, fasten each end on the back. Your gold pot at the end of the rainbow is completed. This easy st Patrick's Day craft for toddlers is a great craft that toddlers can make to honor St. Patrick's Day!

Colorful Rainbow Scavenger Hunt

Rainbows are such an enjoyable, easy way to practice colors. And the color scheme screams "scavenger hunt" to me.

Supplies 

• Rainbow-colored construction paper cut into strips
• White paper
• Plain blue paper
• Printed clues
• Tape
• Scissors

How to Create:

1. Cut apart the clues after printing them out.
2. Attach each clue with a piece of construction paper in a different color using tape or glue.
3. Since the violet color represents the rainbow's end, you can exclude it.
4. Create a white paper cloud, then stick a hint to it. It is the first hint.
5. Fill in the "by a" box on each clue with a readily recognizable (and reachable) item from your home.
6. Put words in the box if your child learns to read; otherwise, sketch the object.
7. You'll next need to place your hints on those items! Get the sequence correct; it can be challenging!
