Lacing

Punch holes in the rainbow pictures and lace or thread string or ribbon through. PS: It might be a good idea to laminate these pictures first so that they last longer.

Use the colors of the pictures to also work on color recognition and match the correct color string to the holes.

TIP: For younger children, thread the strings through the first holes and secure the string at the back of the lacing card with a piece of sticky tape. This way they will not be able to pull it through accidentally.

Loose Parts Color Matching

Provide a variety of loose parts(small items) of different colors to match the pictures by packing them out. Loose parts can include buttons, beads, mini pompoms, mini bells, mini erasers etc. Do note that these small parts can be hazardous so supervision is required.

You can add a plastic tweezer/tongs to the setup or simply let the child use the pincer grip to pick up the items and place them on the rainbow picture to “fill it up”.

Two great rainbow fine motor activities for your younger children to do to help them practice fine motor skills and color recognition as well.
