The first thing I do when I notice raindrops on a sunny day is look to the sky for a rainbow. If the kids and I spot one we usually have what feels like only mere seconds to observe it before it disappears. We never get the chance to fully admire them and we definitely never get close enough to touch one (wink, wink). To help answer my kid’s questions, today’s activity is all about finding easy ways to explore rainbows, lights, and color with the kids in a hands on Science Activity.

Pretty much any activity that includes a glow stick is a guaranteed winner with my kiddos. Here is our first Fine Motor Skills activity that I designed with little hands in mind. Kids learn to work on concentration, patience, and problem solving skills. Pretty cool right? It’s inexpensive to make because the glow sticks can be purchased for $1.00 (I found some in the Target dollar bins or at craft stores like Hobby Lobby), the bottle is recycled, and straws are cheap.

The kids had a blast running back and forth and working as a team to buy toys. Slipping in some gross-motor play into any activity is always a great way to keep the kids engaged. You can modify this game to play with one kid or lots of kids and it works with mulit-aged groups like my two kiddos. My daughter (preschooler, age 4) worked on identifying the first letter in words while my son (toddler, age 2) worked on learning letters and language. Learning Games For Kids, How To Teach Kids
