Paper Plate Pot Of Gold And Rainbow Craft

I love rainbows! Sometimes when we see one, my kids and I hypothetically guess where the end of it is and how long it would take us to reach it. Wouldn’t that be fun if we could actually get to the end of a rainbow? To continue with our St. Patrick’s Day crafting, I put together this fun Paper Plate Pot of Gold Craft that sits at the end of a rainbow. Using dot markers to make the rainbow makes this one especially fun for toddlers and preschoolers.
