Somewhere over, under, and on rainbow children can explore learning concepts. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet arranged in arcs just seem perfect for activities and games. I have shared a number of rainbow learning activities. Several other blogs have shared amazing ways of making learning fun with rainbows too. I thought I would shared twelve activities for kids. They cover a wide variety of concepts. They are all hands on and most importantly they all look like fun.
I hope you will take a few moments to explore each of them. If you find some that you really love, please take a moment to leave them a comment or to pin them to your Pinterest boards. I have already pinned all of them to my Early Learning board.
