Rainbows have become such a hopeful symbol. Draw your own rainbow and match the colours with those that you can find in nature. A great activity in spring and summer when flowers start to bloom.

What you will need:

• Paper
• Coloured pens, pencils or paint
• A view of nature (outdoors or from a window)

How to make nature’s rainbow:

1. Draw or paint a colourful rainbow on your piece of paper and cut it out.
2. Take it outside, or hold it up at the window, to match the colours with natural objects (such as flowers, trees, animals and rocks).
3. Try to find natural objects for all the colours in your rainbow.
