We read this fun colorful book called, What Makes a Rainbow, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day and the coming of Spring. This is a fun story showing how colors come together to make a rainbow. My daughter loves to turn each page and watch as the rainbow gets bigger and bigger with each new color added.
We celebrated this book by making our own Rainbow Ribbon Rings. We used shower curtain rings and scraps of ribbon, representing all colors of the rainbow. Then we tied each color to our ring in the order from the book as we read it. Now it’s a fun playful ring that my daughter dances around with.
We’ve also made these fun Ribbon Rings, wrapping them around the whole ring and leaving the ribbon long and flowing to play with. These would be great to make with all colors of the rainbow to celebrate the coming of Spring!

Aww. My Mom bought this book for my son when he was a baby ! He loved it !!! It’s one of the ones I’ve kept in his ‘keepsake’ box to show him when he’s older ! Love the rings you’ve made to go along with it !!
We love this book. The rainbow rings look like a fun idea!
Cute idea to go along with the book! I have seen a taggie toy be made by just tying ribbon to a wooden ring. Very similiar to what you did here.
I love this book. I bought it for my daughter 5 years ago. What a cutie idea!!!
LOVE this book! It’s one of my daughter’s favorites, so I think we might try the rainbow ring idea to help her learn her colors!
I’m going to see if I can find this book and make the rainbow rings with Parker.
Cute!
BRILLIANT IDEA! My daughter has that book & loves it! Great gift idea!
So cute and easy too!
