The rainbow song
Red and orange, yellow, green โ blue and purple in between. When the sun and rain both play, a rainbow comes to save the day!
Color magic: mixing
- Red + Yellow = Orange
- Blue + Yellow = Green
- Red + Blue = Purple
Try it with paints or crayons โ mixing colors feels like a magic trick!
Why are there rainbows?
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light bends and splits into all its colors โ red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. That bending is why we see the colorful arc in the sky.
Play with colors in the color matching game!
