We made these cute Rainbow Ark pictures with half of an nine inch plate, fruit loops, brown construction paper, stickers, and cotton balls. I thought it turned out cute! I have done the large fruit loop rainbow in the past. I wanted to do a small version with less fruit loops and this worked out pefectly. Three fruit loops in each color. I only used half a box of fruit loops for 24 kids. We could eat /play with the rest at snack. I also attached this poem to the ark picture Noah built an ark, oh so big and wide All the animals hurried to be safe inside. It kept them dry from the flooding rain, For forty days and nights. Until Noah was told to come out again And see the rainbow bright! Lastly we pretended to be on Noahs Ark with my parachute.

A Rainbow Of My Own by Don Freeman Prereading Pre-Reading:
Ask the students if they have ever seen a rainbow? My Rainbow Read the book A Rainbow of My Own to your class. After reading it and discussing rainbows allow the children to create rainbow marble paintings. 1.) Place a piece of blue paper in a tray. 2.) Apply small spoonfuls of paint, one for each color of the rainbow, in various places on the paper. 3.) Place a marble on the tray. 4.) Have the children tilt the tray. Now they have their own rainbow! Milk Rainbows We made milk rainbows, like this
one!
