Rainbow activities are great a number of times during the year … for St. Patrick’s Day, a study of colors, a weather unit, April showers unit, any rainy season, or just a rainy day.
Today, I’m going to bring together a number of wonderful Montessori-inspired rainbow activities I found online.

Wow! What a great selection of activities! Thanks for the mention! I don’t even know how you manage to find everything that you do Deb. I swear you know everyone’s blogs better than they know it themselves. You must have some super organizational or search system!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Maureen! I love doing online research, and I really enjoy sharing my findings. There’s so much online now, though, that it’s literally impossible to find and share everything that’s relevant. I often find activities later on that don’t come up in my searches, so Internet searches definitely aren’t fail-proof! 😉
What a coincidence! We just started a Rainbow Mini Unit today. Planning to post tomorrow. 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Sara! That is a coincidence … I’ll look forward to seeing your post! 🙂
Thanks Debbi for taking the time to do this post! Rainbow is always a favorite theme 🙂
Also thank you for linking back to my blog. You are very kind.
Patty
Thanks for your kind comment, Patty! It was my pleasure … I love your rainbow activities! 🙂
Wonderful and inclusive post! I love the pasta idea at the beginning. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks, Melanie! Do you mean the dyeing yarn activity that looks like pasta? It’s definitely cool, isn’t it?! 🙂
Excellent post, as usual 🙂 Love the blog hop ideas. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Jessica! Great to see you! I love the blog hop ideas, too … so many creative parents in the blogosphere! 🙂
Pinning this! So many great ideas. Thank you!
Thanks, Julie! I really appreciate your pinning my post! 🙂
Oh my goodness, there are so many incredible ideas featured in your post! I can’t wait to try them. The yarn dyeing looks incredible. I would love to do that alongside the kids. Thanks for participating in the Rainbow Blog Hop!
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Chrissy! And thanks for organizing the blog hop. I had so much fun searching for rainbow activities and love the great ideas that are linked up! 🙂
Looks like lots of fun ideas! I just made rainbow cupcakes the other day and the kids loved them!

I just found this in the wrong folder. Thanks so much for your comment, Tara! I LOVE the idea of making rainbow cupcakes! 🙂
What a great collection of activities!! I love this theme!! I really want to try the yarn dyeing, and maybe some tie dyeing too 🙂
These activities are so pretty! We have a prism in our kitchen window that dances all over our breakfast in the mornings. This makes me think I should use it as a springboard for some of these activities! Thanks for the inspiration!
