You will need five things to create a Rainbow Tray: a cookie sheet or tray; a paint brush; cookingsalt or sand; sticky tape and red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple paper if you want to make the complete rainbow. Cut the paper into strips to fit and cover the base of the tray with the paper in the order of a rainbow. Seal with sticky tape or contact paper where the strips overlap to prevent salt or sand from getting underneath the paper. Give each child a paintbrush to draw or write with and see the rainbow appear!
