Materials:
If you have a magnetic chalkboard, great. If not, a dry-erase board or a large sheet of paper will work just fine.
Markers in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red
Magnetic alphabet letters in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red
Directions: Assuming you don’t have a magnetic chalkboard, use your markers on paper or dry-erase markers on a dry-erase board to draw the stripes of a rainbow in an arc shape. Start with purple on the bottom, then blue, green, yellow, orange, and red on top. Make the space between stripes wide enough to accommodate the letters. Let your child match the magnetic letters to the matching stripes. When they’re finished, you’ll have a rainbow of letters! How many can your child identify? (Fun to know, but not really an expectation for this activity.)
