Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Focus on the beauty of a Spring rainbow and work on color sorting and gluing skills with this colorful activity!

What You'll Need: A box of Fruit Loops cereal; white card stock; rainbow coloring page; crayons

Adults: Start by printing one or all of the rainbow coloring pages or drawing your own rainbow onto a piece of white card stock . Then, color each stripe of the rainbow lightly in the following colors: blue, red, orange, yellow, and green.

Now, pour out some of the cereal on the table. Help your child sort the cereal by colors: blue, red, orange, yellow, and green. Then, have your little ones glue the cereal pieces onto each corresponding stripe of the rainbow.

Allow the rainbows time to dry and then hand them the crayons and let them color the remainder of their Springtime masterpiece!
