My 4-year-old daughter loves to make crafts and she loves rainbows. So, of course, we had to try making this adorable rainbow craft made from fruit loops. They are so easy but so much fun. Check it out!

Gather your rainbow craft supplies

This craft is so easy, you might already have all the ingredients in your pantry. Here’s everything that you’ll need:

Assemble your rainbows

Grab a pipe cleaner and cut it in half so that it is about six inches long. Then, push one end of the pipe cleaner into a regular marshmallow. Make sure the pipe cleaner doesn’t come out the other end of the marshmallow.

Items you need to start making your rainbow

Then, start threading fruit loops onto the pipe cleaner until there is about an inch of the pipe cleaner left showing. You’ll need about 15 fruit loops. You can thread the fruit loops in a rainbow-colored pattern or just random colors. Whatever you want to do.

As the last step, take the open end of the pipe cleaner and push it through the marshmallow. Curve the pipe cleaner so it forms a rainbow arch and place the two marshmallows on the table. Now you have your rainbow!

Add embellishments (if you want)

We bought Lucky Charms marshmallows that are shaped into stars, hearts, moons and shamrocks. Just break a toothpick in half and push it into a shaped marshmallow. Then push the other side of the toothpick into the regular marshmallow.

My daughter had so much fun making these fruit loop rainbows. Plus, they were so easy. My two older boys even jumped to make their own. These rainbows are a really fun treat to make for St. Patrick’s Day. I made one for each person in our family and gave them to everyone with our St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. It was super fun.
