With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner,
I thought I'd do a little archives round up today
of some of our favorite Rainbow activities from the past!
Most of our Rainbow activities are based on the 6 color rainbow because I like
to focus on the color wheel and mixing the three primary colors:
RED, YELLOW, and BLUE
to make the three secondary colors:
ORANGE, GREEN, and VIOLET
Any of these activities can be tied into a science lesson to learn about the light spectrum
and the traditional 7 color ROYGBIV rainbow.
