Other Rainbow Craft Questions
Now that you have all kinds of rainbow crafts ready for you to make, here are a few questions you might have.
Many rainbow crafts can be made out of paper. Starting with markers and paper is always a fun place to start.
A fun simple rainbow can be created by placing a small mirror in a glass and then filling the glass with water. Place the glass near a window and then reflect the sun onto a wall showing a rainbow.
A rainbow is a colored light that comes from sunlight shining through water and bending.
