With my students in Junior and Senior Kindergarten I read the story "How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow" For a table top activity, I added my "rainbow exploration kit" along with the story so that the students could explore and create.
The building began and it was really neat to see what the students decided to do with the rainbow coloured manipulatives. The students created some unique structures and rainbows.
Extensions to add to your kit:
-The book: "How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow" by Monica Sweeney or
"The Rainbow Book" by Kate Ohrt
-A box of crayons to use as manipluatives
-Larger coloured popsicle sticks
-Coloured blocks, buttons, rocks or jewels
