When I was a little girl I was in the play The Wizard of Oz. It's been over 28 years but I remember the songs perfectly. My favourite song from the show was somewhere over the rainbow.
Rainbows are beautiful and I love that a rainbow comes after the rain. I kind of relate that to myself. I have had some really tough times in life but the rainbow sure does appear in the end.
Today we have a fantastic and easy rainbow themed craft.
This is a great activity for young children and a great way to teach the colours, get creative and have fun crafting. Enjoy.

Why You'll Love This Craft
- Sparkly & Fun: The glitter adds a magical touch to the rainbow pots, making it a visually exciting craft for kids who love shiny things!
- Colorful Learning: As kids arrange the colors of the rainbow in each mini pot, it’s a fun way to teach them about color theory and sequencing.
- Mess-Free Fun: The glitter can be easily controlled with small pots, making it a less messy option for crafting—plus, they’re easy to clean up afterward!

How to Make the Glitter Pots
Paint one terra cotta pot with white school glue using a paintbrush. Do one section at a time.
Holding the pot with your fingers inside, sprinkle some glitter onto the glue on the pot with your other hand.
Continue to paint the glue on the pot and sprinkle the glitter on the glue until the entire pot is covered in a layer of glitter.
Repeat steps 1-3 with the rest of your pots and glitter colours.
Let the pots dry completely, and then knock the bottoms of the pots together gently over the rubbish bin or a paper plate to remove the excess glitter.
Fill each of the mini glitter pots with plastic gold coins to create a colourful display.

These are so cute, all of the colours together look awesome. I would like them to sit across my kitchen window shelf as an Easter and Spring display. I know my older grandchildren would really like making them.
So cute little pots of gold! I love the colorful shimmer! I will share this craft with my sister whose kids are still young. I am sure they'd love to "discover" these "pots of gold!" Maybe my sister would go all the way and make a paper rainbow too!
