Summer is upon us!  That also means that you just might catch a rainbow or two after a summer rain shower.  Why not take a few days to study rainbows with your children.  The links below will get you started!

 

Rainbow Crafts and Activities

Felt Rainbow Magnet – Crafts by Amanda
This layered felt rainbow magnet is neat for younger children.  Make it applicable to older students by having them accurately measure the bows of the rainbow!

Stained Glass Rainbows – Mom on Timeout
Materials include tissue paper, white glue, and wax paper and the result is a beautiful sun catcher!

Cardboard Tube Rainbow Mobile – Spoonful
This coiled cardboard tube mobile is unique and colorful!  It would make a neat addition to a child’s room.

Painted Rainbow Doily Bags – Pink and Green Mama
These rainbow doily bags have tons of opportunity for a creative child.  Simple supplies can be purchased at any craft store.

Fun with LEGO: Make Rainbows! – Kids Activities Blog
This would be a perfect rainy day activity for your child that can’t get enough LEGO.

Rainbow Window Stars – Gardenmama
This tutorial for Waldorf window stars is a wonderful opportunity to talk about geometry.  And they’re gorgeous to boot.

 

Studying the Science of Rainbows

Rainbow Jar Science Experiment – Playdough to Plato
If you’re studying density, this rainbow jar experiment is a fun twist!

Rainbow Science Fun – Blessed Beyond a Doubt
This neat free printable includes: make your own rainbow, make your own rainbow with a black marker, information about the color spectrum, and additional learning resources.

Rainbow Science! – You Tube Video
This video on rainbow science is amazing!  Learn all about double rainbows, why headphones get in a tangle (and what that has to do with rainbows) and more.

 

Are you studying the science behind rainbows with your children?  What resources did you use?
