Torn Paper Rainbow Craft

I don’t know what it is about my childhood elementary art classes, but torn paper projects stick out to me. They were kind of fun and really gave whatever you were trying to create a neat look. I’ve done a few torn paper crafts at home with my own kids and it’s one of their favorite projects! I think they like it because they can do it on their own with little help from me just by using the paper pieces and a glue stick. Here is one of our latest creations for spring, a rainbow. We may add some St. Patrick’s Day things to it too like a pot of gold or clovers! Have fun creating torn paper crafts with your kids!

This is a super easy spring craft that is great for school age children ages 4-8. Best of all, the end result is cute caterpillar!

What you’ll need:

cardboard egg carton

scissors

green craft paint

6 small yellow pom-poms

pipe cleaners

2 small green pom-poms

2 stick on eyes

Instructions:

With an adult’s help, remove the lid of the egg carton and cut the bottom in half. Trim away excess. Paint the egg carton green and let it dry completely. Glue small yellow pom-poms to the top of each of the six egg cups. Cut two 2-inch strips from the pipe cleaner. Glue the pipe cleaner pieces to the top of the first egg cup to create the antennae. Glue the 2 small pom-poms on the front of the egg cup for the eyes. Finally, glue the eyeballs to the green pom-poms.
