Directions:

  • First things first – print out the free pumpkin printable linked above. Go ahead and color in the pumpkin designs {two per rainbow} and trim them out.
  • Next up, cut your paper plate in half. Each half will form the base of your rainbow. Set one half aside if you’re crafting with multiple kids or save it for a future project.
  • Using your fall-colored paint crayons, create stripes on the curved side of the paper plate to mimic a rainbow. Start with the outer edge and work your way inwards, leave a small space at the innermost curve. Allow the paint to dry completely.
  • Once your paint is dry, it’s time to decorate! Use a stapler {or glue} to attach the pumpkin cutouts along the bottom edge of the rainbow.
  • If you’d like, add some extra details or embellishments. Then display proudly for all to see!
