This rainbow storytime was meant to tie-in with our Summer Reading Club's theme, "Reading Colors Your World."
I decided to read Ava and the Rainbow by Ged Adamson for our first book. This sweet picture book is about Ava who makes friends with a rainbow and realizes that a rainbow is meant to be special and a rare sight.
Our next book was The Rainbow by Felicia Law. This book is great for a rainbow storytime because it talks a little bit about the science of a rainbow and explains how a rainbow appears.
My final book read was Ruby's Rainbow, a Max and Ruby book by Rosemary Wells. The story goes over the colors of the rainbow so kids can get some practice with knowing colors.
For the storytime craft, I was able to find a cute Oriental Trading rainbow craft where the kids can practice their fine motor skills by threading string matching the colors of the rainbow.
Rainbows are such a cheerful, beautiful topic for a storytime in spring!
