Prepare the plates: Start by selecting one paper plate for the sun and another for the rainbow. Tear or cut the second plate to create an arch shape for your rainbow.
Paint the sun: Use yellow paint to color the entire surface of the first paper plate. Allow it to dry completely.
Create the rainbow: Paint or color each segment of the cut plate in the rainbow colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—starting from the outside towards the center.
Attach the rainbow: Once both plates are dry, carefully glue the rainbow onto the bottom edge of the sun’s plate.
Add clouds: Use cotton balls to create fluffy clouds. Glue these onto both sides of the rainbow to enhance the sun’s cheerful aesthetic.
Finishing touches: Allow all parts to dry properly before displaying your beautiful craft.

When painting, consider using washable paint for easier cleanup. Kids can write their names or a cheerful message on the sun before drying.
