Rainbows have become cheerful symbol of hope and brighter days during this difficult time. This easy children’s project can be used as a fun introduction to basic weaving techniques. Young children will need adult help with the technique and adults should do the initial preparation for setting up the paper plate loom, but kids will enjoy watching their rainbow appear before their eyes.
This is a “make and make do” project, using materials that are basic and handy. You can use any weight of scrap yarn for this project. For each color of the rainbow, you only need about 3 feet of yarn. This is a great project for homeschooling or as a summer activity. You can see the full tutorial here.
