Have fun reading and planting you own rainbow garden! I’ll be sure to post again when our rainbow is in full bloom.Virtual Book Club for Kids September 2012 The book gives lots of suggestions for different plants and vegetables to use. You could do tomatoes, carrots, yellow peppers or tomatoes, broccoli or cucumbers, blue potatoes, purple/red onion or eggplant. You could easily find colorful veggies to plant in a row. We are now ready to water and watch our rainbow grow.Īnother part of this fun book talked about planting a rainbow of vegetables. I saved some for a large planter we have by the deck. I didn’t plant all of the flowers that came in the pack. We got out the garden gloves and planted the rainbow right in a row. But I found we had just enough space in our little patch of dirt by the house. I almost planted this rainbow in little individual pots for each color and was going to have them coming down our steps. I don’t really know of any plants that have green flowers, do you? You could also use a pretty grass plant. For green, I decided to plant the herb Parsley. For blue, we found a large perennial plant called Lithidora. Blue and green were a little bit harder to find. My kids loved helping find the colorful flowers. We went to the local garden nursery and searched for red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple flowers. To celebrate this book, we chose to plant a rainbow of flowers in our own garden. There’s a rainbow of colors we see in the garden with lots of colorful flowers to plant and vegetables to eat. This book talks about all the colors of the rainbow and where we see them.
With Spring planting upon us, I couldn’t resist choosing this fun and colorful story. This week for Storytime with Make and Takes, we read Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert.
