Rainbow Stripes Landing at a Plump Pot of Gold

A wide rainbow band slants down from the upper left of the page and lands right at the rim of a round, plump pot. The rainbow is drawn as straight parallel lines, which makes several separate stripes ready for color. The pot has a flared top lip, a small handle on its left side, and a pile of round coins heaped just above the opening. The outlines are bold and the shapes are big, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the stripes in the order of a real rainbow, red at the top through violet at the bottom, and talk about the color names as you go. Then give the coins a shiny gold or yellow and pick a dark color for the pot. This free printable suits a St. Patrick's Day table or a classroom center.
