Colors and shapes are some of the first concepts we introduce to toddlers. Did you know color and shape sorting are essential early math skills?

It is an easy spring activity for toddlers and preschoolers. You can also make this rainbow craft for St. Patrick's Day.
You might notice, we used regular paper for this activity but tissue paper would be better for a suncatcher since they're translucent. Hope you enjoy this rainbow activity for preschoolers.
You can see my 4 yo working on her rainbow suncatcher in the video tutorial.
