My kiddos watched as Hurricane Irene passed through our state yesterday. Today, we woke up to a beautiful day, & we decided to celebrate.
I gathered up various materials in red, orange & yellow (crayons, markers, bits of paper, beads, & feathers). I drew an outline of a rainbow on a sheet of white paper & used colored markers to write the name of the color for each row.
Then I let the kiddos get to work! They loved it.

(btw, this activity concept is probably best for kiddos around ages 4+!)
