What You Need:

white paper plate
sheet of white construction paper
scissors, glue, colored markers

What You Do:

1. Fold the paper plate in half with the back sides facing. Unfold it.

2. On one side of the plate draw a half circle. The ends should touch the fold line.

3. Punch a hole inside the half circle with your scissors and cut it out.

4. Color a band of red around the rim at the top. Then add a band of each of the other colors in the rainbow: orange, yellow, green, blue, violet.

5. Cut out some cloud shapes from the white paper. Glue the clouds to the sides of the rainbow.

6. Refold the plate so it stands.
