Sunny Rainbow

By Lisandra Brothers

To make a rainbow to celebrate the coming of spring, you will need: a 4″ x 5″ (10 cm x 12.5 cm) piece of heavy white paper, colored markers or crayons, scissors, glue, 5″ (12.5 cm) pieces of curling gift ribbon, and a stick (optional).

Instructions

  1. Copy the rainbow-and-sun pattern onto the piece of paper.

  2. Color your picture. Starting from the bottom, a rainbow’s colors are violet, indigo (a dark grayish blue), blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.

  3. Cut out your picture. With an adult’s help, curl each piece of ribbon with a pair of scissors. Glue one end of each ribbon to the end of the rainbow as illustrated.

  4. Hang the picture on a mirror or in a window, or glue it to a stick and put it with a potted plant.
