A rainbow is ribbons of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple that appear in the sky sometimes (but not always) after it rains. Rainbows are beautiful but a little rare, so here are three ways you can have a rainbow anytime you want!
Read a rainbow!
Choose a book of every color in the rainbow to look at or read. Here are some suggestions:
1. Little Red Riding Hood by Candice Ransom
2. I Feel Orange Today by Patricia Godwin
3. The Little Yellow Leaf by Carin Berger
4. Go Away, Big Green Monster! by Ed Emberley
5. Bluberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey
6. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
7. Winnie the Witch by Korky Paul
(a cute story about black which I know is not a rainbow color)
9. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
(a colorful book by Bill Martin Jr.)
Make a rainbow!
You can make a rainbow with colorful buttons,
fabric or paper scraps or . . .
You can glue a small purple circle on top of a slightly bigger blue circle on top of a slightly bigger green circle on top of a little bigger yellow circle on top of a little bigger orange circle on top of a big red circle. It might look like a colorful target until you cut it in half and wah-lah . . . a rainbow to glue in Chapter Rr of your Alpha-Book or . . .
Mom or Dad could write your name in a light color like pink. Then you copy over the pink, in another color, then another, until your name is written out in a rainbow of colors!
Eat a rainbow!
You can create an edible rainbow by arranging colorful fruit
or jello jigglers into a rainbow shape or . . .
sort fruit loopy type cereal by color and string onto a piece of yarn
or shoestring licorice in rainbow order or . . .
maybe you could even help your Mom make rainbow cupcakes!
Happy rainbow day!
Love, Grandma
