Double Rainbow

Two rainbows for the price of one! This page shows a double rainbow, with one arch curving inside the other across a wide open sky, soft clouds drifting beneath them and a cheerful round sun shining in the corner. Double rainbows really happen when light reflects twice inside each raindrop, and a fun fact is that the colors of the second, fainter rainbow appear in reverse order. That makes this page a great chance to talk about light and weather while you color. The two sets of bands give plenty of room for lots of colors, so it suits kids who enjoy a slightly bigger project, though the wide stripes are still easy enough for younger hands. Try mirroring the color order on the outer arch to show how a real second rainbow flips. Print it on US Letter or A4 and let the whole sky glow.
