We’ve spent the last week or so talking about R is for Rainbows.
I love rainbows. My girls love rainbows. It was a good week.
We painted rainbows.
We sang rainbow songs, and danced to rainbow songs, and did magnet games with pictures from rainbow songs.
Somewhere Over the Rainbow:
We did plenty of other “R” and Rainbow activities:
Punching holes in letter Rs with plastic needles
Some of my favorite resources for FREE preschool homeschool activities had great Rainbow Units.
Like this Rainbow Unit from 1+1+1=1. We used tons of the stuff from this download. The favorite of my girls was the printout of the lyrics to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” with the pictures of the various things mentioned during the song (rainbow, star, clouds, chimney, etc.). I put magnet tape on the backs of each of these items and had them take turns putting them up on the dry erase board as we sang the song. They loved it, and we did it as part of circle time every day during this unit!
I also used lots of stuff out of the Letter R for Rainbow unit from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I love her stuff and I use it all the time. I got the “poke page” idea pictured above from her, for example.
Lass loved this magnet rainbow activity (we got this page and some coloring pages here, magnets here):
We got and read tons of rainbow books from the library.
We made rainbows on the walls and furniture and each other using our prism.
The girls really got into talking about Roy G. Biv!
For some more fun rainbow stuff, check out my Pinterest page on the topic (Have I ever mentioned how much I love Pinterest? It’s a homeschooling mom’s best friend). Enjoy!
