Rainbow Flashcard for Preschoolers

A rainbow is sunlight and raindrops working together: each drop splits white sunlight into its colors, and a whole arc of drops paints the sky.

A science flashcard: a child looking up at a rainbow, with the fact that a rainbow can appear when sunlight meets raindrops.
