Pot of Golden Treats - candy filled pot of gold At the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold. The leprechaun left its powerful green hat that saves him from traps. It's caught in a trap and the princess was able to slide herself down the long rainbow. She fell into a pot of gold under thick clouds at the end of the rainbow where the leprechaun's hat was left.

That's the story running inside my mind while doing this craft.

Supplies:

Note : if you don't have this black container use the bottom of a plastic bottle and color with black paint.

assorted colors of construction paper (colors of the rainbow)
cotton
packs of chocolate coins
crayon/oil pastel
1 black disposable container

scissors
glue

Steps:

Draw a cloud on a piece of white paper.

Shade the edges with blue crayon or oil pastel.
Rub the blue traces using a piece of cotton to spread the color and to add detail to the clouds. Set them aside.

Estimate the size of the rainbow. Draw two curved lines with one smaller than the other.

Cut this out to make a curved strip.
Use the first strip to trace the next color. The upper curve of the second strip should fit the size of the lower curve on the first strip.
