Sensory Play: Creating a Rainbow

I’m sure you’re familiar with the old saying idiom —

“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”

In the month of March, life seems to revolve around the crazy weather. 

And every once in a while, if you’re lucky, you are treated to something beautiful …

 

a rainbow!

 

The thing about rainbows is that they are fleeting and something that you can only enjoy with your eyes.

And yet so darn beautiful!

So I thought we’d round up some beautiful color as we close out the month — 35 rainbows that kids can touch, taste, smell, see and even hear!  

Now you can have rainbows even on those not-so-sunny days.
