We set out four colours of icing, more sprinkles, and lots of candy for the kids to add. Miss Optimism made vanilla cupcakes and added sprinkles before she cooked them so they had a bit of a rainbow on them. The decorate-your-own-cupcake area was popular, as evidenced from the expression on Dancing Queen’s face.

I also put out a bowl of Fruit Loops and string licorice and the kids made necklaces and bracelets with them, but I didn’t get any pictures of that. I put out paint, paintbrushes, clay, foam hands, coloured beads, scissors, glue, paper, bright feathers, markers, colouring sheets, paper, and markers. Making the layered jello cups took a lot longer than I anticipated, so I’m glad I got a picture because it’s unlikely that I’ll ever make them again! If I did though, I would make them in smaller plastic cups or make them in a sheet pan and cut them into squares.įor crafts, I let imagination be the key. You can find details about how to make the rainbow theme food here. I tried to think of as many edible rainbow things as I could. The kids made paper chains and strung them all over the house to use as our decorations. My girls helped me make these treat bags to hand out to the party guests.

There were 29 kids here with their moms…loud and messy, but so much fun!!! We made our own rainbows using this idea.īut of course, the highlight of Rainbow week was having a Rainbow Party! We used the theme to celebrate the end of the homeschool year (even though we are going to be schooling year-round this year). The kids also watched the movie The Story of Noah. We have long loved I Love You More Than Rainbows and I used Noah’s Ark to incorporate how rainbows are a reminder that God keeps his promises.

The kids also did a lot of rainbow colouring sheets. The other sheet they completed with bingo dabbers. Some of them chose to eat the cereal after while others chose to glue them on. I printed the colour by number sheet and the “Rr is for Rainbow” sheet from Confessions of a Homeschooler.

plastic ice cubes (the nice thing about these is that you can also have the option of freezing them first to add another sensory element with the play between cold and room temperature).

It’s a great theme, fun for the kids and easy to do. We have been learning the letter “Rr” and chose the theme of Rainbows.
