The Colors of the Rainbow
It’s March, you guys!
With St. Patrick’s Day just a few short days away, my mind is filled with all things color.
From the bright green shamrock that’s an iconic symbol for the entire month of March to the vibrant colors of the rainbow and the pot of gold beneath it.
All that said, the colors of the rainbow are an important symbol of Christianity and springtime.
That’s why I love leaning on fun rainbow crafts and rainbow art projects this time of year.
4 Color Rainbow Template
This simple 4 color rainbow template is perfect for little ones!
You can easily use this as a coloring sheet when homeschooling preschool or kindergarten-aged kiddos.
These fun freebies can also be a budget-friendly way to decorate for a rainbow-themed birthday party!
When I first created this 4-color rainbow template, I absolutely loved the look, you guys!
However, it quickly dawned on me that I had left out something crucial for educators.
While this template is simple and cute for coloring or decorating, it doesn’t have the proper number of arches to create the standard rainbow using the ROY G BIV color spectrum or for creating the traditional 6-color rainbows (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) we all know and love.
So, without further ado, I also created a 6-color version for color teaching purposes!
6 Color Rainbow Template
This 6-color rainbow was created for all the traditional rainbow lovers, homeschoolers, and older kiddos who simply love a color-accurate rainbow.
That said, if you have kiddos who follow the ROY G BIV spectrum while making rainbows, they will have to squeeze that indigo in there, you guys.
While I considered making a 7-color version, 6 was my max for 2 reasons.
First, it simply looked better.
Second, many teachers and homeschoolers opt to skip indigo in rainbow art projects as it can be harder to find budget-friendly paint selections with that color option.
Plus, I find that as colors bleed into one another (specifically the blue and purple) indigo tends to make its debut in rainbow projects anyway.
All that said, I created an artsy version and a plain version (just like the 4-color templates) and you can easily get creative and add a spot for indigo using either one of these free rainbow templates.
