ROYGBIV Yarn Painting

1st graders learned about the color spectrum of the rainbow. I showed them this really cute music video to introduce the project. The link is below. We created the rainbow by glueing down string. It was a little messy and challenging at first, but they got it after the first color. They also made the magical elf ROY G BIV in the corner of the rainbow with his magic rainbow wand. They were so cute. I had so many students ask me if ROY G BIV was real. Of course I told them yes, how else do we get rainbows?
