Planting a Rainbow

Students will create their own Spring Garden using line, shape, and the colors of the rainbow.

Start by listening to the following stories.

Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens

Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert

Now get ready to plant your own garden of color.

Let's look at some different kinds of plants.
Sort these plants into tops and bottoms.
Now sort the plants into the colors of the rainbow.
Which plants will you put in your garden?
Will they all be flowers or all vegetables or a little of both?
Remember you need:
RED
ORANGE
YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE
PURPLE

Start by drawing your horizon line.

Make sure you color heavy enough to hide all the white!

Now it's time to paint the sky and dirt!
