Easy Rainbow Crayons Craft
Read on to find out how to make these easy rainbow crayons to help keep your kids entertained at home!
You can never have too many easy crafts to do with kids in my book…especially right now. My daughter is one of those kids who needs to be busy, so crafts have always been her cup of tea. And while I’m no DIY expert, I can manage the simple things like any desperate, busy mom who needs a moment to herself. Bwah!
And since my baby girl is such a creative soul and out of school for the time being, it’s up to me to keep encouraging her artistic growth at home. Being that we always have loads of broken crayons around the house, it makes total sense to make something with them. Enter easy DIY rainbow crayons. Let me tell you, they were a BIG hit!
So, let’s talk about how to make these DIY rainbow crayons shall we? I promise, it’s worth the time. I’m sure we could all use a little extra help figuring out how to entertain our kids at home right now! This project definitely does the trick.
And don’t forget to read to the bottom because I shared a couple more of my favorite kids crafts there too. Learning from home doesn’t have to be all social studies and arithmetic. Good old fashioned arts and crafts definitely has its merits too. Just sayin’!
