Rainbows are beautiful visions that you see on very special days where there is both sun and rain. Usually it happens when the rain has just stopped and you look across the landscape and a beautiful rainbow brightens up the sky. The crafts on this page are dedicated to rainbows.
A rainbow is a beautiful spectrum of colors which is mostly seen in arches and appears after it has rained. Some says a rainbow is God's promise to not to flood the earth again. But others says it's when the sunlight and the rain combine in a specific way. Rainbow colors include red, orange, blue, yellow, indigo, violet and green.
Rainbow crafts are most popular on St. Patrick's Day since there is a popular tale which says Leprechauns always hide their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Below you will find a few beautiful rainbow crafts for all ages.
