Rainbow Activities to beat Summer Boredom

I have been trying to do some preschool-ish type things with the girls this summer so that they do not get too bored, and let's face it, there is only so much swimming that can happen in one day too! This day, was our rainbow day. We spent the morning mixing colors together to form a rainbow, followed by rainbow coloring, and then the grand finale was a rainbow snack. Both girls actually liked this more than I thought they would. It was fun!

we made fun colored star ice cubes using red, yellow, and blue. And then we mixed some together to form all the colors of the rainbow. Fun!

Beautiful!

Lexi loved our "magical experiment" as she put it

we put all the colors of the rainbow crayons together and drew and arch. Then, they glued cotton ball clouds to the bottom. Big hit even with Christine.

Lexi creations was entirely her own. 

Then, they made their rainbow fruit salads by mixing the different colored fruits together. Let me just say, Lexi tried every single fruit, even blueberries, which blew me away. Yes!

caught off guard :)

mandarine oranges were her favorite!
