Ingredients

  • Rainbow Craft Sticks Jumbo – Dollar Store
  • Hook and Loop Fastener Dots Dollar Store (Velcro dots)
  • SHAPE AND COLOR FLASH CARD FREE PRINTABLE

Instructions

STEP ONE

  • Gather all supplies. Remove jumbo rainbow-colored craft sticks and the hook and loop fastener dots from their packaging. You will need two sets of hook and loop fastener tabs for each craft stick.

STEP TWO

  • Peel the hook (scratchy) fastener tab from the backing paper and apply to one end of the craft stick. Flip the craft stick over, peel the loop (soft) fastener tab from the backing paper and apply to the opposite side of the craft stick.

STEP THREE

  • Repeat the above step with the opposite end of the craft stick making sure to reverse the application. Each side of the craft stick should have one hook and one loop fastener tab. Each end of the craft stick should have one hook and one loop fastener tab.

STEP FOUR

  • Continue attaching the hook and loop fastener tabs to the rainbow-colored craft sticks until each one has two hook fastener tabs and two loop fastener tabs. These fastener tabs are self-adhesive which makes this craft quick and easy to complete.

STEP FIVE

  • Download and print the free printable SHAPE AND COLOR FLASH CARDS. Cut apart with scissors, and let the kiddos start building. After working on shapes, colors and counting, let their imaginations run wild and build whatever they want.
