If you have preschoolers, you will love the rainbow craft. Preschool Inspirations show us how to cut out a cloud from white card stock or white poster board. Then, you need to use a hole punch to create holes to loop the pipe cleaners. Preschoolers can easily bend and twist the pipe cleaners into form.
