To make the pony Rainbow Dash we will need:

Stages of making the pony Rainbow Dash

From the sheet we cut out all the details that are located on it. This is the body, and the head, and the paws, and the mane with the tail.


We select three parts that relate to the head. We bend the small white “corners” and glue them together.


Then we glue all three parts together.


Now let's move on to the neck and torso. Just two details. Glue along the small white areas. Cut a short vertical line onto the body piece.


We connect the neck part with the chest from the torso part.


We insert the neck and body into the small hole in the head.


Now we take four parts that relate to the paws. The two pieces that have rainbow designs on them are the back ones. Glue together to get three-dimensional shapes.


Glue the front legs to the body.


Then let's move on to the hind legs.


We bend three parts (wings and tail) in half and apply glue in the middle. Glue it together.


We insert the tail into the small hole. Secure with glue.


We cut the multi-colored part along the lines and glue it together.


Glue the mane to the head, covering the back.


Glue the two ear parts together. Glue it to the mane.


We glue the remaining two teardrop-shaped and multi-colored elements onto the mane.


We glue the finished wings to the body so that they stand.


Pony Rainbow Dash is ready according to the finished template!


Spring has made itself felt: the days are becoming longer, brighter, more rosy, and thanks to all this, the mood is improving. At least the days are becoming “rosier”, i.e. They delight you with different bright and sunny colors; the opportunity to see the rainbow itself, which usually happens after rain, most likely has not yet presented itself.

But for children, a rainbow is something incredible, something that evokes an insane amount of bright emotions! In addition, this is a reason to gain new knowledge and have a great time.

Here are a few interesting ideas, how to make a rainbow yourself, real and not real.

Real rainbow

(the simplest option)

Will need:
glass prism;
paper;
Sun.

You need to find a sunny place (near a window in sunny weather or outside). Then position the prism so that the light hits it and passes through the sheet of paper. We look at the rainbow, rotate the prism, move the rainbow closer and further away from the sheet of paper.

A real rainbow. Option No. 2

(not such a simple option, but also not at all difficult)

Required:
a glass of water, three-quarters full;
paper;
Sun.

As in the previous experiment, we need to find a sunny place and do the same thing, but here a glass of water will serve as a prism for us. Light rays will be refracted in it in the same way as in a prism.

Rainbow on CD

It is very simple and probably familiar to everyone - to see a rainbow on a CD. You just need to expose the disk to the sun's rays. A rainbow will appear on the disc itself.

You can make many different “rainbows” yourself: draw, cut, glue, sew!

Rainbow collage

(for children from 4-5 years old)

Will need:
paints;
a piece of cardboard;
a large number of multi-colored (at least roughly rainbow-colored) pieces of fabric and paper;
buttons;
ribbons;
pieces of foam;
foil;
beads.

Cut out a semicircle from cardboard. Let's color it like a rainbow.

Thickly coat the painted surface with glue.

Carefully lay out or pour small pieces onto stripes of the rainbow of the corresponding color: red buttons and pieces of paper - on red, yellow - on yellow, etc.

Advice: It’s more convenient to apply glue to a strip of one color, decorate it, wait until the glue dries, and only then apply glue to the next strip. This way, if your child throws out the decorations sloppily, they won’t stick to the “wrong” color.

For centuries, the rainbow has amazed people with its beauty and unusualness. Many legends revolved around this phenomenon, since the mystery of the origin of the beautiful seven-color ray remained unsolved.

If you want to please yourself and your loved ones with a rainbow-shaped craft, pay attention to this article, it will tell you how to make a rainbow with your own hands.

Drawing a rainbow

Drawing is a wonderful activity that cannot leave any child indifferent. Of course, drawing on plain paper with pencils or paints will appeal to everyone, but using eye shadow, shaving foam and any other unusual tools will delight your child.

Application

A beautiful decorative rainbow can be made using applique. To do this, prepare seven colors of paper strips, ribbons, beads or bows and glue them onto the piece of paper. The result can be given to parents as a gift. Let's tell you in more detail how to make a rainbow out of paper.

Instructions on how to make a rainbow out of paper

Cut out seven strips of paper in the desired colors. The width of the strips should be the same (about 6 mm), but the length should be different. Fasten the strips with a stapler at one edge. Fasten the edges of the other side and place the resulting craft on the table.


To make the craft look less boring, add clouds on the sides of the rainbow. Wrinkle up some cotton wool and glue them to the edges of the craft.

Since rainbows appear in the sky when it rains, make sure there are drops hanging from the clouds. Cut out three drops from blue paper.

Glue the parts of the droplets together by first folding them in half. Now you need to string the drops onto a thread with a needle, having first threaded a bead into it.

Connect the thread with the clouds. The option looks original when the length of the threads is different, for example, three threads can descend from the clouds, the middle of which is the shortest.

Rainbow using a mirror

If you don't know what you can use to make a real rainbow, pay attention to the following method. It will allow you to create not a craft, but a real seven-color beauty at home. To do this, you only need a container of water and a mirror.

Prepare a container and fill it halfway with water. Place the mirror in the bowl at an angle.

Place the container so that the sun's rays hit the mirror directly. Hold a sheet of plain white paper over the mirror. Adjust it until you see a rainbow.

Drawing a rainbow with a sponge

To draw with this unusual material, prepare:

  • sponge;
  • Gouache;
  • Paper (preferably large format).


Apply seven stripes of paint to the sponge in the correct sequence. The stripes should not be too thick. Next, hand the child a sponge so that he runs it over the paper in a certain sequence.

It is important to do this in one direction, avoiding layering paint on top of each other, otherwise all the colors will mix with each other and lose their aesthetic appearance.

Large craft using different techniques

In order to make a large craft, prepare the following materials:

  • Paints;
  • Cardboard;
  • Foil;
  • Bright pieces of fabric and paper;
  • Ribbons;
  • Beautiful buttons;
  • Beads or seed beads;
  • A small piece of foam.

Note!

Here is our master class on how to make a rainbow:

Cut a semicircle out of cardboard and color it to make a rainbow. After the paint has dried, apply glue to the rainbow. Don't skimp: there should be a lot of glue.

Carefully arrange beautiful beads, pieces of paper or fabric, buttons on the rainbow. Follow the color scheme: for example, on a red stripe there should be a fabric with a red ornament, on a purple stripe - with a purple pattern.

Hang the resulting applique on the wall. The craft will delight you every time you look at it.

Conclusion

Rainbow is a beautiful natural phenomenon associated with the beauty of nature and joy. Creating a wonderful craft will help you entertain yourself on a cloudy autumn day and add some brightness, warmth and comfort to it.


We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the photo instructions on how to make a rainbow on the Internet in order to enrich your understanding of these crafts and create new masterpieces yourself or to please your children.

Note!

Spring is coming into its own everywhere. The sun is shining brighter, the first flowers are blooming, and in some places the first grass has already grown. Project participants "Weekend with your favorite book" We also felt the warm breath of spring and created spring crafts with our children: flowers and a rainbow. I hope that this wave of inspiration will penetrate every home and your creative activities with children will become bright and warm in spring.

Rainbow-arc

We made a rainbow out of paper. We needed double-sided colored paper, glue, pencils and markers, and scissors. Jaromir cut colored double-sided paper in rainbow colors into strips of equal width but different lengths. The purple stripe is the longest, the red stripe is the shortest. Then I glued the strips together at both ends. Red with orange, then with yellow, etc. The result was a three-dimensional rainbow. The son drew a lake on a piece of paper and threw a rainbow across the lake (glued it to the drawing). We signed the craft “Rainbow-arc”.

Hydrangea and gerbera

We made flower crafts from the lids of bags of fruit puree. We have a lot of colorful caps. So I decided to invite my son to make a flower from them. He himself selected the lids with holes. I took out a string, my son deftly strung the lids onto the string and got so carried away that he began stringing the juice straw as well. At first she gave in quite easily, but somewhere in the middle things stalled. The child became nervous, I had to help. At the end of the rope we tied something like a knot. So we got a stem, but it couldn’t support such a massive inflorescence.

Mom suggested we think about the vase. This is how a glass with a handle appeared. The son made the leaves from green paper, simply tearing it, crumpling it a little and putting it in a glass vase. And then the son proudly ran around the apartment and showed everyone his flower. Most likely we got hydrangea!

The youngest daughter made her flower a little earlier. The result is a graphic flower made from a pyramid. Most of all it reminded me of gerbera.

Oksana Demidova, son Fedya, 4 years old, and daughter Anya, 1 year and 5 months old, St. Petersburg.

My son's choice fell on voluminous flowers made from multi-layered petals. Taking double-sided colored paper, Misha traced circles and cut them out. Folded in half and in half again, then I drew the outline of the cutting and now the first petals are ready. He found the sequential gluing very interesting, when the flower immediately becomes alive and voluminous.

Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?

For the cores, we used the remains of rhinestones that I once used to embroider a picture, and a glue gun. The stems are made from cocktail tubes and complemented with leaves of colored paper. We decorated the jar with material from flower packaging and our little bouquet is ready.

Svetlana Radionova and son Mikhail, 7 years old. Saint Petersburg.

For this bouquet you will need double-sided colored paper, scissors and glue. Take a green sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut the “noodles” with scissors, leaving about 2 cm at the bottom edge. Then we roll up the sheet, glue it together and straighten the resulting “grass”.

Then we cut out flowers from multi-colored double-sided colored paper, draw hearts with them and glue them onto our grass in any order. That's all. The bouquet is ready, you can give it to your mother!

Carnations

We made a bouquet of carnations. To make flowers we needed:

  • napkins (white and green);
  • markers;
  • wire.

We take several white napkins, fasten them with a clothespin so that they don’t move apart, draw a circle and cut them out. Next, use a felt-tip pen to carefully color the edges. We insert a wire into the center of the flower and secure it. For flowers my husband gave us copper wire in a braid. You need to clean the tip so that it is sharper, pierce the napkins and bend it with pliers. It is enough to make a small hook. Since the napkins are folded in several layers, they seem to hold this hook themselves, and you don’t have to be particularly sophisticated.
