With St. Patrick’s Day coming up soon, I thought it would be fun to do a St. Patrick’s activity involving rainbows. Plus, rainbows are a great way to work in some practice with colors. Knowing how much my kids enjoy do-a-dot worksheets, I created a printable Rainbow Do-a-Dot Worksheet for my kids to use.
Note: For more do-a-dot printables, see my do-a-dot printables page. Plus, see my post sharing 15+ ideas for using do-a-dot printables for learning.
The kids were quite excited when I pulled out our do-a-dot paints
I explained that they were to match the do-a-dot paint
With XGirl, I also used this as an opportunity to reinforce color learning. And for both kids, it was an exercise in one-to-one correspondence. Both kids really enjoy counting objects right now, so after completing several rows I invited the kids to count the number of dots they filled in, and they happily obliged.
At the end, they created a beautiful rainbow as part of our learning about St. Patrick’s Day!

I am so glad I came across your site on the linky. I am all about unique crafts and learning activities for kiddos, so thanks for this wonderful idea! I may just have to go out and FINALLY buy a set of do-a-dot markers now. 😉
We find all kinds of ways to use our Do-A-Dot markers. If you buy them I am sure you could get lots of use out of them!
