The rolling hills can be a mix of different greens to show depth, or you could imagine them in autumn with reds, oranges, and browns. Don't forget the sky! A soft blue or even a magical pink or purple sunset sky behind the rainbow would be beautiful. Use crayons, colored pencils, or even watercolors for different effects. Don't be afraid to experiment and use your favorite colors to make this scene truly unique. There's no wrong way to color when you're being creative!

Fun Facts Did you know that a rainbow is actually a full circle? From the ground, we usually only see a semi-circle or an arc. You'd need to be very high up, like in an airplane, to see a full rainbow circle! Rainbows happen when sunlight shines through tiny drops of water in the air, like after it rains. The water drops act like tiny prisms, bending the light and splitting it into all the different colors we see. The classic order of rainbow colors is often remembered with the acronym ROY G BIV: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Rolling hills are simply hills with gentle slopes, making them look like soft waves in the landscape. They're often covered in grass, perfect for grazing animals or just enjoying a peaceful view!
