About Rainbow coloring pages

Rainbows are a favorite with young kids, and our rainbow coloring pages keep them cheerful. You will find smiling rainbows with clouds, a rainbow over a flower garden, a sailboat under a rainbow, a dolphin jumping over one and a pot of gold at the end. A bunny slides down a rainbow, and a kite flies through the clouds.

Rainbows are a natural way to learn color order. From the outside in, the colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Many kids remember them with the name ROY G. BIV.

How to use rainbow coloring pages for learning
