🌈 Fun Facts About Rainbows in Water Spray

While your child colors, here's a great moment for a little story: a rainbow forms when sunlight hits tiny water droplets, bends inside them, and splits into its individual colors — the very same thing happens in the fine spray a leaping dolphin trails behind it. For this display of color to become visible, the sun has to be positioned at exactly the right angle behind the viewer, while the water droplets float in the air in front of them. Mini rainbows like these in spray or waterfalls follow exactly the same physics as the big rainbows in the sky, just on a smaller scale. Anyone who wants to learn more about how rainbows form can explore the rainbow profile on Wikipedia together.

🎨 Creative Idea: What to Do with the Finished Picture?

Is the dolphin in the rainbow all colored in? It deserves a place of honor on the wall! Afterward, on a sunny day, spray a fine mist into the air together with a garden hose and look for your very own little rainbow. ✂️
