Rainbow Chain

Rainbow Chain Fine Motor Activity For Preschool and Kindergarten
We made rainbow chains which is a great activity for fine motor development ... color recognition ... and hand-eye coordination.  I began by cutting construction paper into 1" wide strips.  I used the six colors that make up a rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).

I made color sequence cards that would show the children what color pattern to follow when making their chains and set them out with the construction paper strips and glue sticks.

I did not put the construction paper strips in order as I wanted the children to use the color sequence card.  They started with the red strip and glued the ends together and then took the orange strip and laced it through the red link and glued the ends together.  They then repeated with the rest of the colors until they built their chains. Most children did three or four rainbow sets.
