A Rainbow Watercolour Picture


The rainbow watercolour picture was part of our Noah's Ark theme that we have been following this week, but it could be used for any rainbow/colour-related activity.  I thought it would be fun for the boys to hang up a rainbow that they had made.  To do this, I gave them some watercolour paper and asked Wugs to tell me which order the colours should come in.  We coloured our paper with felt-tip pens in the order that they appear in the rainbow and then I asked Wugs to squirt the paper with water using a squirty bottle.  Whilst he was doing this, I held the paper over the sink until all the water had run off the other end.  Then I left the picture to dry.  Unfortunately the colours didn't run as much I had hoped, but the subtle appearance of the rainbow on the page was quite realistic considering some of the rainbows I have viewed in real life.

What we used:
Watercolour paper
Felt-tip pens
Squirty bottle of water
