Want a fun and easy way to celebrate St. Patty’s Day? Why not make a giant rainbow using everyday kitchen utensils such as a meat chopper or potato masher? This simple craft is a fun way to use household objects in a new way!
Supplies:
- White paper
- Assorted paints
- Paper plates or paint dishes
- Kitchen utensil such as a meat chopper or potato masher
- Optional: tape or something to hold down the sides of the paper
Directions:
- Plan out the size of paper you need in relation to the size of the kitchen utensil you will be using. For larger utensils, you will want a larger piece of paper. A cheap and easy jumbo canvas can be the inside of wrapping paper.
- Set out white paper (taping down sides might make it easier).
- Pour each color of the rainbow onto a paper plate or paint dish, one color at a time.
- Use your chosen utensil to stamp out a line in the rainbow.
- Wash and dry your utensil between each color.
- Repeat for all colors.
- Let dry and hang!
