Step 3

Divide the circle into 7 equal parts, and paint or crayon the sections with the colors of the rainbow : red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Step 4

When this is dry, make a large loop of string and put it through the round hole of the card.

How to Play With Your New Color Wheel Spinning Toy

Now hold the ends of the loop one in each hand. Now if you turn the string at one end as if you were turning a skipping rope, and then suddenly pull it tight, your card will revolve very rapidly, and you will find that instead of a colored card you have what appears to be a light grey one. This is really a little piece of science, for it shows that the white light about us is really made up of the different colors of the rainbow.
