Are you looking for spring activities for kids? It is raining out as I type this, which always makes me hopeful that I may be seeing a rainbow soon. So I am very excited to share some fun rainbow activities for kids.
There are rainbow activities here to get your kids creating, moving and working on important skills. My kids love rainbows so much that my twins even had a rainbow birthday party when they were younger.
These rainbow activities for kids are perfect for celebrating spring or St. Patrick's Day. Some of the ideas will help children practice their fine motor skills while others will provide them with a fun sensory experience. If you are doing a rainbow study with your child, there are some wonderful books that can be used with a rainbow theme. A few of our favorites are A Rainbow of My Own and The Rainbow Fish.
