Rainbows Galore

Since Tuesday was guaranteed to be a sunny and warm day, we talked about rainbows.

First we read a couple books and talked about what colors are in a rainbow and when we can see a rainbow.



We used fruit loops and cotton balls to make our own rainbows. The kids had fun eating the leftovers of a color once they had enough pasted on the paper.




(Hmm, notice Seth's mouth is full of something? =)



We made rainbow necklaces. The boys were feeling creative, so they didn't stick to just the rainbow pattern, but had lots of fun choosing different colors and patterns.




Time for a treat - yummy rainbow cupcakes! Mmmmm!



Then we took turns coloring water with food coloring and arranged the cups in the order of the rainbow.



We also had fun making our own rainbows with little prisms. I hung them on strings so we could dangle them in the light, but the boys quickly turned them into necklaces.

We enjoyed lots of play time and activities outside on this gorgeous day!
