Art Activity: Create a Rainbow

Looking for a Rainbow Art Activity? You’ve come to the right place! This hands-on experience is one that little hands will love, but it can also be extended for older children!

Begin with a plate full of Fruit Loops—yes, that toxic dye-filled cereal that mama’s despise. It’s perfect for this activity.

[{"selector":"#anim-68d87d58-7091-41ab-991d-36602562507a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-73e9d62f-ac7d-459d-bb29-03297e78ec4f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.27242%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a8bcee64-5010-4c2c-8e0c-8a0ecfe83876","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eebe739b-ff0f-48d3-8e66-d7c9c0561b92","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-8deg) translate3d(0px, -167.60433%, 0) rotate(8deg)","rotate(-8deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(8deg)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

Then from there, you can do a couple of different things!

On a piece of white paper, I wrote out ROY G. BIV—you know, the make-believe acronym name that helps kiddos learn the colors of the rainbow.

[{"selector":"#anim-a96807fe-ba88-44d4-8713-fcc1fa71571d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f9d56f47-b558-4d3a-ad12-4b206fb9f62f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-14499862-7176-4c65-8afd-b9f3b9bafb41","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ff38d431-41cb-4324-a5d4-51e0154e136e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cadf906e-af1a-4867-ad25-f004961debd2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.53399%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

For one kiddo, this served as a guide as they carefully choose the needed colors to create this.

[{"selector":"#anim-ecfa1501-f972-419e-8a8c-38528f6c1d08","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c1589785-4df8-4683-858d-4fe5bbf657ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57964862-566c-453d-ad07-ac3683f33aae","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd7396c3-baef-4569-abd9-6e4691eae175","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-736ccbc9-5736-4b14-9094-239ec0146262","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.90909%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

For a younger sibling, we began by doing a little color sorting!

[{"selector":"#anim-78494794-359e-47b7-bfdf-6916ccc73705","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-325ce08a-14d2-456c-bdc4-68d49eb66f2e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a23197f8-bee1-4349-b008-8616a1df0f32","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.72603%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f8acd3b4-648f-4da7-83d7-9a4336e03cfc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-18154938-f1c9-4127-a3cd-cc9111f6b5d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

We took their smaller plate full of Fruit Loops and made little piles of each color, and then we created a rainbow using each little mound of cereal.

[{"selector":"#anim-53b21d63-b268-440c-8e46-272e70ce7aad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c4f7be2-8040-4794-89b2-37f7392e38c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7c6a6f9-75ba-48ad-99a5-d9b266fde074","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(99.45206%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn More

As we created, I encouraged them not to eat the cereal pieces, but then when we were all finished, this happened.
