Noah's Ark Rainbow Craft

Supplies for Your Noahs Ark Craft
- 1 White Paper Plate
- 1 Sheet Brown Foam
- Animal Stickers—2 of each
- Markers—red, orange, yellow, green, blue
- Stapler

🖌️ How To Make Noah's Ark With Paper

- Step 1: On the top half of the paper plate, colour a rainbow. Start with a thick line of red on the rim of the paper plate, and follow with orange, yellow, green, and then blue.

- Step 2: Now lay the paper plate face down on top of the brown foam. Trace a half circle on the foam around the plate. Cut out the foam, and it should look like half the plate. Cut out 3 small circles in the middle of the foam for little porthole windows.

- Step 3: Turn the plate right side up so the rainbow is at the top, and set the brown foam piece on the bottom half the plate.

- Step 4: Use the stapler to staple the foam to the top edge of the plate. Put about 4-5 staples around the edge.

- Step 5: Now just add the animal stickers. Put some peeking through the portholes, and some on the white plate so it looks like the animals are all on the ark.

- Step 6: Don’t forget to make sure to put 2 of the same animals right next to each other since Noah put 2 of each animal on the ark.
Have Fun!
