Rainbow – weekly theme prompt
This weeks theme prompt for play, fun and activities is rainbow.
My kids love drawing rainbows, you can pretty much guarantee in every drawing session Pinky will draw one. This weeks weather seems to be so changeable, I thought this would be a nice choice for a theme to prompt some activities.

If you like drawing rainbows like my children, then here is a great idea for some lovely rainbow art via Buggy and Buddy.
I always think it’s a good idea, for kids who are old enough to understand, to show them how to create a rainbow with some simple science. Here’s is a really fun way to demonstrate this via Inner child fun.
I love the look of these bright and colourful rainbow sensory bottles and musical shakers, great for babies and toddlers, but also good for older children to dance around with to some music from My little 3 and me

Here is another simple fun craft activity to make rainbows from Happiness is homemade
I must admit, I love the theme this week, it is so bright and colourful, there are so many things you could make and do. It is a fantastic theme to help teach little ones about colours and maybe older children about mixing colours. Or you could use it to teach children about the weather.
I hope you have lots of fun with your rainbow colours this week.
