Rainbow

• Rainbows on the Wall
  1. Explain that rainbows are seen outside when sunlight shines through raindrops.
  2. Gather a pan of water, sunlight and a mirror.
  3. Let the kids play with these & try to make a rainbow.
  4. After they try, help them partially submerge the mirror, then turn it to face the sunlight. A rainbow will appear on the wall!

• Prism Rainbows
  1. Give the kids prisms and let them hold them up to the sunlight and make rainbows all over the wall. My kids have loved this.

• Rainbow Coloring Page
  1. Print the page above from Twisty Noodle.
  2. Color in a simple rainbow pattern to match the colors they see in the rainbow on the wall.

• Fruit Loops Rainbow
  1. Color a simple rainbow on white paper.
  2. Give the kids a bowl of Fruit Loops and let them glue the cereal by matching the colors to the rainbow lines.
  3. I usually help put dots of glue on the rainbow lines and they put the Fruit loops on the glue. I drew the rainbow for my 1-year-old but my 3-years-old liked doing it himself.

 

• Tasty Rainbow Necklace
  1. String the rest of your colorful Fruit Loops on a long piece of plastic lacing to make a tasty necklace snack.
