What colors does a rainbow have and in what order should my child color them?

A rainbow has seven colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. Start at the top with Red and work your way down through the colors. The realistic lines of the coloring page help clearly define each color layer.

The coloring page also shows clouds and a sun. What colors are suitable for these to make it look realistic?

For the clouds, light gray or white crayons are suitable to emphasize the airy effect. The sun can be colored bright yellow. Encourage your child to also color the sky in a light blue to complete the weather picture.

How can I explain to my child why a rainbow appears while they are coloring the picture?

Explain that a rainbow appears when the sun shines through raindrops, like tiny prisms. Say: 'The sun shines through the water drops and turns them into many colorful lights that we see in the sky.' The coloring page serves as a great visual anchor for this explanation.

The coloring page is simple. Are there additional activities to further reinforce the rainbow colors?

Yes, together look for objects around the room in rainbow colors. You can also sing a song about rainbow colors or arrange small color cards in the order of the rainbow. This way, what they've learned is playfully reinforced.
