Colors & Rainbows

From Genna, our Stay & Play Lead Teacher

One of the primary topics taught to young children is colors. Once your child knows their colors, there is still so much that they can learn from rainbows. Apart from their many scientific aspects, rainbows communicate an important message: beauty matters, especially in times of hardship. Rainbows are also a signal that spring is coming; a symbol of inclusivity, and even a sign of luck. In short, Rainbows spark hope. So, take a walk somewhere open and wild, play music, or look at art. Seek out rainbows, or make your own. And check out these books!
