Rainbow Collage

This is a great activity to teach colors for kids, indeed the Rainbow colors. I think in the past few weeks me and LO were more into collages! May be, its summer time, and we hardly spend time in doing activities indoor! And this summer, I have no patience to do messy activities and the following clean up! 😟...So we end up in doing collages, which are short, easy and enthralling!😁

Supplies: Rainbow colored construction papers, glue stick, scissors.

I drew the outline of rainbow roughly, I named it VIBGYOR, so that LO can identify the colors. Then cut small pieces of papers from each color using scissors, or you can even tear out the pieces. We started gluing with green color, with no particular reason. Then the orange color.

 Then the blue and yellow color.

 Followed by Indigo and violet.

And finally the red color.

And the rainbow collage is all done! LO enjoyed it so much😁

At the end of this activity,

• You can sing the rainbow song from 'Mother Goose Club'. I personally like this song because of its visual and the tune. 
• Further you can reinforce the rainbow colors by repeating the names of them in the order Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. 
• If possible watch out for a rainbow thro' the window on a rainy day along with your kids! 
• Color a rainbow picture using crayons.
• Talk about the shape of the rainbow - semicircle.

Happy Parenting!😊
