Moms will go over the rainbow when they see this colorful display of love!
Lesson Objectives
List All The Ways: This craft is an excellent way to practice spelling and penmanship! Before writing on the craft sticks, have your students make a list of all the reasons they love their moms. Ask them to write in full sentences and check their spelling before transferring them to the craft sticks.
Love In Every Color: Rainbows follow a very specific pattern: red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet — ROYGBIV! Encourage your students to use every color of the rainbow to create this craft stick sign for mom! Then, ask them to display it in the same order as a rainbow. Can they remember the order from memory?
Follow-up Discussion
The reflection of light can appear in all kinds of ways — rainbows in nature aren’t always as clear and bright as the craft stick signs. After crafting, explore the magic of rainbows with your students — have they ever seen a rainbow in real life? What did it look like?
