MIRROR RAINBOWS
You can help your child make a rainbow appear on the wall by having
them place a small mirror in a glass of water. Have them place the
glass on a window ledge in the direct sun light. Help them adjust
the mirror so that the light hits the mirror and reflects through
the water, creating a rainbow on the wall.

WATER RAINBOWS
On a sunny day, get out a garden hose and show your
child how to spray out the water so that it creates a rainbow in
the spray. To make rainbows, we need light and water. Explain to
your children that light contains many different colors; red, orange,
yellow, green, blue and purple. And when it is filtered through
water, the water breaks up the light rays and we can see the different
colors.

RAINBOW ART
A fun activity for young children is to tie three crayons together
and then let them color with it. Encourage them to make rainbows
on their paper with the crayons. This activity is especially great
for children just learning to color because they will be successful
making rainbows each time.

RAINBOW RIBBONS
Give your child six sections of ribbon; one red, one orange, one
yellow, one green, one blue and one purple. Show your child how
to line them up in the correct order. Then mix up the ribbons and
let them try to put them in the correct order.
