About this printable
Arcs that share the same two ends make a rainbow without painting the whole sky. This how to draw a rainbow for kids page adds one curve at a time, then clouds. After rain, stand at the window, then sit down to copy panels. You do not need seven perfect bands on the first try. Five is plenty. Clouds are overlapping circles, the same trick as trees. Keep crayons nearby but finish pencil first. This sheet fits weather units and hopeful days. If arcs flatten, lift the middle. Kids can color in any order they like once the lines exist. Avoid copying a cereal-box rainbow. Staple this beside the sun page. Write the date of the storm you remember on the back of the print.
