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.

Ghost crafts are a lot of fun for kids to make and they’re a way to get into Halloween crafting that’s not really scary. Here are some easy ghost crafts for you to make with kids, whether it’s your kiddo at home or a class full.

I love this simple ghost made with a pompom or cotton ball covered in paint and used as a stamp. This one is from Crafts on Sea and you can have kids just hold the pompom or hold it with a clothespin to make it a little less messy.

Use cotton balls and printable facial expressions to make these silly ghosts from Housing a Forest. The post includes the printable templates or you can just add googly eyes.

Little fabric ghosts are a classic, whether you make them with white fabric or fall or Halloween fabric. Buggy and Buddy shows you how to make these little ghosts with a few cute embellishments. Just make one or two or make a garland or Halloween tree full of them.

There always seem to be paper plates lying around, and this paper plate ghost from Crafts by Amanda is a fun one. There’s a printable in the post for the facial features and arms, or kids can draw their own faces (and leave off the arms if you want to keep it simple).

What kid doesn’t love peeling dried glue? Turn that impulse into a craft with these glue ghosts from Friends Art Lab, and don’t miss the tip in the post that helps you turn these into window clings.

This handprint ghost in the window craft from Glued to My Crafts is so cute and easy for kids to make alone or with help. The post shows lots of variations so it would be fun to make these in a classroom and let each kiddo design their own “window” or add embellishments.

These sweet little tissue paper ghosts from Red Ted Art are actually mini pinatas, but you can just make it as a ghost without anything inside if you’d rather.

And you know I love a good kids’ sewing project so I can’t resist sharing these little felt ghost puppets from The Craft Train. Kids can sew them by hand or you can make them out of paper if you don’t want to try sewing them. The template for the ghosts is free to download, and you can also just make little softies instead of puppets if you like.
