Rainbow Painting Step 1

Have your child dip a wine cork into their choice of colors and press it down into the lines on the rainbow coloring sheet. They can alternate colors, or make each line of the rainbow a single color if they like.

Rainbow Painting Step 2

You can wash the wine cork in between each paint color, or you can have a few wine corks on hand so that no washing in between is required.

Rainbow Painting Step 3

Doing this colorful rainbow painting craft is the perfect time to help your child learn their colors. Have them repeat the name of each color as they make a new circle on their rainbow worksheet.

Rainbow Painting Step 4

Each time your child dips the wine cork into the paint, they can dab it on a piece of paper towel before pressing it onto their coloring sheet to get off some excess paint. This is not a required step, but a helpful tip so their rainbow sheet will dry more quickly.

Now you have a fun activity and an adorable keepsake. Plus you found a use for those wine corks.
