- Glass of water
- Piece of White Paper
- Crayons
Directions
- Place the glass of water on a windowsill in bright sunlight.
- Put a piece of paper on the floor below the glass.
- With the glass sticking out over the edge of the windowsill, move it from side to side until you see a rainbow on the paper.
- Use crayons to match the rainbow colors on the paper
Enjoy your homemade rainbow. National Geographic Little Kids is the book this came out of along with the next two posts.
We are having so many storms in Wisconsin right now and apparently it is your fault for making rainbows all the time. Enough now ;)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to drop a comment and let you know I featured you in my Mid-week Blog Shout Out over at A Daily Dose of Toni
ReplyDeleteThis sounds simple and easy...my kind of craft!! We get National Geographic for Little Kids and Kids National Geographic. I just love those magazines (and seem to have missed this craft idea!).
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this next time I babysit! Thanks for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. My son loves rainbows, I think that we will try this.
ReplyDeleteAww! See, that's just the kind of thing my kids would love to do and then they'd fight over a crayon and the water would be spilled and then they'd cry and I'd send them both to their rooms and then I'd wonder if it was too early in the day for a glass of wine... Still, it would be fun at first!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! And so simple - wow!

WOW!! My daughter will love this!!
ReplyDeleteSuch an adorable idea!
ReplyDeleteYou have just made my day!! Now I can have something for my boys to do! ....and to think I was gonna lock them outside day! (just kidding!)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were going with it when I saw the list of materials. That is a cute idea. Provided my two year old would leave the glass alone.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! What a cute idea! I am really into this...maybe I will try this with my class someday...
