I love rainbows! Before I share the top 10 rainbow suncatchers that I have found on the world wide web, I thought I’d share a few of the DIY rainbow suncatcher crafts that we have made.
1. Rainbow Window Star * – Waldorf rainbow window stars are typically made during the summer months to add a splash of color to the winter landscape, but can be made year round.
2. Rainbow Pony Bead and Prism Suncatcher * — These are rainbow suncatchers that cast rainbows all over your walls when the sun hits the prism. You can either string them in a rainbow pattern or make them with a rainbow of colors.

Top 10 Rainbow Suncatchers for Kids
1. Rainbow Suncatcher Craft * | Fireflies and Mudpies — This rainbow suncatcher is as simple as it is beautiful.
2. Rainbow Butterfly Suncatcher * | Minico.CO.UK – This is such a beautiful project. It reminds me of stained glass. For lasting color use kite paper instead of tissue paper. Tissue paper fades while kite paper maintains vibrant colors for years!

4. Rainbow Wind Catcher * | A Pretty Cool Life— A gorgeous wind and suncatcher that hangs in a window or outside.
5. Gelatin Plastic Rainbows {Two Ways} * | Dilly Dally Art — I love that these beautiful suncatchers are made with gelatin instead of plastic! The gelatin looks just as beautiful as cellophane.
6. Rainbow Heart Transparencies * | Twig and Toadstool — For lasting color use kite paper instead of tissue paper. These Ice Rainbow Suncatchers and Rainbow Wax Suncatcher from Twig and Toadstool are equally gorgeous!
7. Rainbow Suncatcher | Life in the Nuthouse — Guess what this gorgeous suncatcher is made of? I’ll give you a hint… it’s an upcycle project!
8. Cosmic Suncatchers * | Babble Dabble Do — These beauties are made in a rainbow of colors. Another beautiful option that uses slightly different materials is this Pretty Round Suncatcher Craft from Kids Craft Room.
