Free Rainbow Templates to Color & Print

Who doesn't like rainbows? They're fun, they're colorful, they represent hope and promises ... and you can use them for all kinds of kids' activities, especially when it comes to learning about colors or the science of what makes a rainbow.

I made a few black and white printable rainbow templates that can be used for all kinds of things such as:

• Coloring, then cutting out and hanging as garland
• Making St. Patrick's Day or unicorn party decorations
• Doing a color-sorting activity with M&Ms and Skittles (or colorful beads if you want to avoid candy)

Whichever activity you choose, you can combine it with a book or two (which I always love to do).

I made the templates in 3 sizes -- small, medium, and large -- so that there's sure to be something that meets your needs.

I also included a couple color rainbow templates and a coloring pages with different rainbow designs.
