Rainbow Toast


The sun was shining bright today and then it started to rain.  We looked for rainbows, but could not find any, so we made our own.


I poured a tiny bit of milk into three small bowls and added food coloring to make one bowl each of red milk, yellow milk, and blue milk.


The kids used new paint brushes to paint rainbows on their bread.  The yellow mixed with red to make orange, the blue mixed with the yellow to make green, and they painted a little red over the blue to make purple.


I toasted the bread and added a little butter and cinnamon sugar for flavor.


We read A Rainbow of My Own by Don Freeman about a boy who imagines what it would be like to have his own rainbow.
