There are multiple different styles available in three different sizes so you can find the free rainbow pattern you need for your craft project. I hope you enjoy! This post may include affiliate links which means I may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. It’s easy to use these free printables as a simple rainbow coloring page. Because there are pages showing rainbows with seven bands, they’re also great for teaching about the vibrant colors of the rainbow. These free printable rainbow templates are an excellent way to reinforce your homeschool or classroom lesson plan about light and the science of rainbows. Grab a prism to split the light coming through a window into seven different colors so your students or children can experience the magic of light! Older children can enjoy a discussion about why the colors of the rainbow always appear in the same order due to their wavelengths. If you’re planning a St. Patrick’s Day theme, make sure to grab these free printable pot of gold templates, rainbow coloring pages, and free printable shamrock patterns to go with your rainbow patterns! You don’t have to include these rainbow coloring sheets as part of a lesson plan - they’re a great way for younger kids to have fun and practice their fine motor skills any day of the year. Make sure to check lower down in the post (dare I say, “at the end of the rainbow?” for more craft ideas and educational activities).
