Make a Wild Rainbow

Rules for collecting;

Only pick where there is plenty. If

you can see less than five of a flower

then leave them alone.

Only pick one petal or leaf from each

plant, NOT the whole flower. This

means that rest can still grow.

If you are picking in a garden ask for

permission first.

Watch out for prickles and stings.

Picking with just you fingertips will

ive you a chance to test first and also

make sure you don’t pick too much.

Only collect plants, do not stick any

bugs to your rainbow, however

colourful they are!

Do not put anything near you mouth

and ALWAYS wash your hands

when you have finished.

1. Get out into your garden or

local green space and look for

examples of natural things in all

the colours of the rainbow. Make

sure you follow the rules for

collecting.

2. Sort your collection

into different colours.

3. Draw a semi-circle on

a piece of paper. This

will help you to make the

rainbow shape.

4. Spread glue over your semi-circle and stick tiny pieces of your red

coloured objects down. When your red layer is complete spread another

semicircle of glue inside the first and stick down your orange pieces.

Continue with the other colours until you have a complete rainbow.

More ideas…

Why not add a background to your rainbow picture.

You could draw in you favourite view or an imaginary

landscape.

If the weather is dry and not too windy there is no need

to even go indoors. Make your rainbow by placing

objects on the floor outside and leave it for someone to

find
