A kinder teacher of three-year-olds saw an art activity I did with some
children aged four and asked if I could do it with her class. Fine motor
skills are not as developed in three-year-olds, so I suggested making a fun
exercise around something that the ‘threes’ were captivated by. ‘What do
they like drawing?’ I asked. ‘Rainbows!’ came the instant response.
This series of concentric circles could be handled by small fingers
(with a little help of course), and were then pasted on top of one another
from large to small. A simple activity, it touched on colours and sequence,
and when folded in half the seven pasted circles transformed into
DIY take home rainbows.
