The Colors of the Rainbow

I saw this gorgeous rainbow today shooting out of the Foothills! It reminded me of this great green family activity.....


Go outside to look at a rainbow with your child, or if there is no rainbow, go outside and ask your child to draw and color a picture of a rainbow.

As your child identifies each of the colors ask her to name a person in her life who is like one of those colors. For example, perhaps she says that her grandma is yellow because she is sunny and nice.

Then you can plant different color flowers for each color of the rainbow and for each person she named. Depending on your climate, you may be able to plant red roses, yellow sunflowers, purple pansies, and others!
