Noah’s Ark Rainbow Craft for Kids

Easy crafts that are creative and not kill the budget are a perfect solution for schooling at home, homeschooling, church camp, and Sunday School. We’ve been sharing a lot of adorable rainbow crafts as a Noah’s Ark theme on God’s promises. Here’s an innovative rainbow craft for kids that will keep them occupied for the entire class.

With only 5 materials you can find at home or church, plus, 8 step by step instructions, you’re guaranteed a successful and peaceful craft time. This is a great bible craft for camp, especially outdoors, where they can get a little messy and clean up is a breeze. Remember to remind the kids what the rainbow means — God’s promise that He will never flood the earth again. What a wonderful and beautiful promise sign!

Rainbow Craft Handprint Flip Supplies

Grab some paper plates, crayons, paints, scissors, and a glue stick before you get started. The Rainbow Craft materials and instructions are below.

  • 2 Paper plates
  • Blue crayon
  • Paints
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors

Rainbow Craft Instructions Step by Step

1. First color the bottom half of the concave side of one plate with the blue crayon or colored pencil to make the water. Don’t use a marker, the painted handprint on top will make the marker bleed.

2. Paint the child’s hand brown and make a print on the water to create an ark.

3. While you wait for that to dry, take the other plate and cut it in half.

4. Now fold that piece in half and draw a line with a pencil on the convex side. Take the plate with the ark and draw a line down the middle top half as well.

5. Next, make a fingerprint rain cloud with gray paint and fingerprint raindrops with blue paint on the left side of the pencil line on the ark plate.

6. Make a rain cloud and raindrops to the right convex side of the plate half as well. Allow time to dry.

7. Once dry, flip the plate half over to the concave side. Have the child make a fingerprint rainbow by starting with red along the edge and move inward with each color.

8. Once that is dry, fold the half plate and place glue on the back of the right side (the only part that isn’t painted). Stick it to the ark plate on the right side of the top (the only part that isn’t painted).

Now the child can flip from rainy to rainbow!

Noah’s Ark Craft Instructions

Looking for some fun and free bible crafts that are all about Noah’s Ark and the flood? Whether you are a Sunday School teacher, homeschool mom, working mom, or a stay at home mom, we’ve got you covered! You are going to love our tissue paper Noah’s Ark craft that requires very little prep on your part!

Teaching about the amazing 40-day journey of Noah and his family is so much easier when a hands-on activity is available. It gives children an opportunity to use all of their senses while learning about God’s amazing miracles.

Noah’s Ark Bible Craft Supplies

  • Two paper plate
  • Brass fastener
  • Tissue paper; rainbow colors plus brown.
  • Noah’s Ark Template
  • Crayons; red and gray
  • School glue
  • Small paintbrush
  • Scissors

Noah’s Ark Craft Instructions

1.First take each color of tissue paper and cut into pieces.

2. Then grab a paper plate, draw a line down the center of the plate to separate the rain side from the rainbow side.

3. Let’s work on the rainbow side first. Take the school glue and squeeze some along the border of one side of the plate. Use the paintbrush to spread the glue around. Glue red pieces of tissue paper along the edge of the plate. Take the paintbrush and spread some glue over the top of the red pieces, making sure to get all edges down.

4. Then glue orange pieces a little further into the center of the plate. Proceed with all the colors of the rainbow. Make sure all edges are sealed down so the plate can turn without getting stuck.

5. Now print the Noah’s Ark template. Color the two clouds without the dashed line gray and the heart red. Cut out all the template pieces. Also cut down the dashed line on two of the clouds.

6. Then take the 4 cloud pieces (the half cloud shapes) and glue them to the bottom of the rainbow. Make sure they are above the line separating the two halves.

7. Next turn the plate so the rainbow is on the bottom, this blank half will have the rain.

8. Glue the two gray clouds toward the top of the plate. Then glue a bunch of the blue tissue paper pieces for the rain. Take the paintbrush and spread glue over the tops of the blue tissue paper pieces to make sure they are sealed down.

9. Now take the other plate and cut an ark shape. You’ll want to cut the sides to be an even line with half the plate, the ‘house’ part on the top can be any size.

10. Then take brown tissue paper and cut it into pieces.

11. Next take pieces of brown tissue paper and using glue and a paintbrush, stick onto the ark shaped plate.

12. Once the whole ark is covered, use the paintbrush and a little more glue to seal in all the edges.

13. Take the heart and glue it to the ark.

14. Once everything is dry, align the plates and poke a hole in the center of both plates. This can be done by an adult with a craft knife or the tip of scissors.

15. To complete the craft, put the brass fastener through the ark then through the rainbow/rain plate and fasten on the back.

You are finished! Now you can spin the plate to go from rainy to rainbow.
