Our pipe cleaner rainbow building busy bag was inspired by our Fine Motor Rainbow from last year. I recreated the activity on a smaller scale so we can build rainbows again and again anywhere we go!

The contents of this busy bag include colorful pipe cleaners, floral foam, and cotton balls. I used a serrated knife to cut the small pieces of foam from a larger brick. Our toddler D was easily able to push the pipe cleaners into the foam. He loved this activity!

Our preschooler meticulously identified and sorted the colors before putting them in rainbow order. Her little brother was echoing her naming the colors, "Dere's orange!" I will never tire of seeing them work side by side like this!

While the end result between our two-year-old and five-year-old's creations are apparent both kids were thoroughly engaged and interested in this activity. It makes the perfect busy bag because they are already asking to build a rainbow again!
