How to Make a Rainbow Sticky Wall

Step 1. Draw a rainbow on the whiteboard.

I used a whiteboard and my old easel because that’s how I prefer to do sticky wall activities. For me, it’s just easier because I don’t like sticking things on my walls if I don’t have to. But of course, you should do things the way that works for you.

2. Cover the whiteboard with contact paper. Tape the contact paper down with the sticky side facing upwards.

Another option is to use a permanent marker to draw a rainbow directly onto the non-sticky side of the contact paper. Then, when you attach it to the wall or door using painters tape, the image will show up (although it will be reversed). This is the traditional way that most moms and educators do sticky wall activities.

3. Cut the different colored craft paper into small squares.

4. Encourage the kids to place the colored squares onto the contact paper.

If you like to prepare play ideas ahead of time, you can always leave the sticky part of the contact paper and the backing attached to each other.

I like to peel back each corner and attach each of the corners to the wall (or whiteboard). Then leave the rest covered. When my kids are ready to play, then I peel off the whole backing paper and it’s ready to go.
