Classic Rainbow Coloring Page

Rainbows are joyful symbols, and this Classic Rainbow coloring page is an easy way to bring color and curiosity into your day. Start by talking about the seven colors and the order they usually appear, then let children choose whether to follow that order or invent their own pattern. In the classroom, you can use this printable as a center activity and display finished sheets on a bulletin board to brighten the room. At home, this page works well for a rainy afternoon, a quiet art moment, or a family craft time where everyone compares color choices. For an extension activity, pair the coloring page with a short story about weather or have kids write a short caption about what the rainbow might be hiding. You can also cut out finished rainbows and glue them onto construction paper to make cards, bookmarks, or a collaborative mural. The familiar shape of the rainbow makes it simple to decorate, and the clouds invite soft shading and imaginative details.
