Do you have Rainbow Rangers fans in your family? I have to admit, we had not heard of the Rainbow Rangers before we received these books from Macmillan. However, after reading through these books in one sitting, my daughter is now a fan for sure. So we decided to share these fun Rainbow Rangers books, as well as some rainbow activities to pair with them.

Rainbow Rangers: Rockin’ Rainbow Colors

Written by Summer Green

This tabbed board book introduces the reader to the characters of Rainbow Rangers, as well as the bright colors that represent them. The large tabs around the edges of the book are each attached to a two page spread that features a specific character and color. The text is simple, introducing the color name in a large font, and sharing the powers associated with each character. This is a fun way to introduce young ones to the characters in the story, as well as to color names.

Rainbow Rangers: Meet the Team

Written by Summer Greene

This early reader introduces the characters of Rainbow Rangers, as well as their unique powers and characteristics. The large, clear text explores the land of Kaleidoscopia, the magical creatures that live there, and the inner workings of the Crystal Command Center. The bright and colorful illustrations also highlight the colorful costumes and tools used by the team to solve problems on Earth.

Rainbow Rangers: To the Rescue

Written by Summer Greene

This paperback picture book follows the Rainbow Rangers team as they attempt to save a baby polar bear floating away to sea on an ice floe. The story teaches an important lesson about working together, while the bright illustrations are full of adorable animals, and vibrant colors. The back of the book even includes a punch-out, wearable Kaleidocom, just like the characters in the book wear.

Rainbow Rangers The Quest for the Confetti Crystal

Written by Summer Greene and illustrated by Joshua Heinsz and Maxime Lebrun

This hardcover picture book follows Floof, the adorable Prismacorn sidekick of the Rainbow Rangers as he tries to protect the Confetti Crystal. When the crystal goes missing, it is up to him to travel around Kaleidoscopia to get it back. The illustrations are bright and colorful and full of adorable creatures from the mystical land. Kids will love learning more about the Rangers’ sweet pet.

Exploring Rainbows

We decided to explore rainbows using a flashlight and a variety of tools from around the house. First we took a CD and flipped it over so the shiny side was facing up. Next, we shined a flashlight on it and examined the different colors that appeared on it. Then we filled a glass with water and shined a flashlight through it to make rainbows appear on the wall. My daughter had a lot of fun creating rainbows on her own.

Rainbow Tops

Color in the sections of this printable with red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Cut out the circle and use scissors or a knife to cut a small slice in the middle. Stick a penny through the hole so one half sticks through each side. Spin the penny to make the colors spin around and merge together.

Making a Prismacorn Horn

Cut a semi-circle shape out of paper and roll it up to make a horn shape. Secure the ends with tape or glue. Punch holes in 3 sides of the horn, about 1 inch up from the bottom edge. In the two holes directly across from one another, tie long pieces of string or ribbon. These will be used to secure the horn to your child’s head. Gather a bunch of colorful yarns or ribbons, thread them through the remaining hole and secure the ends on the inside of the horn with tape or glue. Allow it to dry before tying the horn to your child’s head.

I also created a prismacorn tail for her by tying rainbow yarns to a ponytail holder. Cut two foot lengths of yarn and thread them through a ponytail holder. Fold the yarn so the ends meet and use another piece of yarn to tie a knot or a bow around all of the yarns near the holder.
