Paper Rainbow Mosaic
A simple activity that I did a few weeks ago is making a paper rainbow mosaic. I drew the rainbow template and cut it out. I then had my student trace around the curved rainbow lines and cut them out of colored construction paper.
We then glued the rainbow onto a sheet of white paper, and tore pieces of the colored construction paper and glued them onto the rainbow. This makes the rainbow more interesting, and it incorporates more fine motor skills.
Here is a rainbow template in white or color.
Materials:
- Rainbow template
- Colored construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- White paper
Skills:
- Fine motor
- Scissor cutting
- Handwriting
- visual perceptual
