What gold treasure is at the end of your rainbow? Pretty gold hearts at the end of this rainbow, turn them over and find the treasures that matter the most. Younger children will need a little assistance with this craft, older children can be creative when decorating the rainbow with markers, crayons or paint. I used a needle threaded with fishing line to attach the hearts to the rainbow which was a little difficult to work with, but did look nice when finished. Other options might be using yarn instead of the fishing line.
