Fun Facts About Rainbows:

Rainbows Aren’t Just for Rainy Days: While we typically think of rainbows appearing after a rainstorm, they can also happen when the sun is low in the sky, such as during the early morning or late afternoon. They form when sunlight is refracted, or bent, through water droplets in the air.
Seven Colors in a Rainbow: The classic rainbow has seven distinct colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The mnemonic “ROYGBIV” is a helpful way to remember the order of the colors.
The Science of a Rainbow: A rainbow happens because sunlight is made up of light waves of different colors. When sunlight hits a water droplet in the atmosphere, it bends and spreads out to create the spectrum of colors we see.

These Rainbow Pancakes are as magical as they sound! They’re a fun way to get kids excited about breakfast (or any meal) and are sure to make any day feel like a celebration. Get ready to stack them high, add your favorite toppings (maybe some whipped cream or fruit for even more color), and enjoy a beautifully colorful treat that’s almost too pretty to eat.
