🌈 Family Sparks Friday: The Colors of Light

Light isn’t just white — it’s full of hidden rainbows waiting to shine through! 💡✨When light bends, it splits into all the colors that make our world so bright and beautiful. Let’s explore how!

💭 Talk About It

Ask your Tiny Scientists:

• What colors do you see when sunlight shines through a glass or a puddle?

• Why do you think we can see different colors?

• What happens when you mix colors on paper versus when you mix light?

Encourage them to make predictions and explain their thinking — that’s where real discovery starts! 👩🏾‍🔬

🧪 Try It Out

Materials: flashlight or sunlight, CD, clear crystal, or glass of water

1️⃣ Shine your flashlight or sunlight onto the CD (or through the glass of water).2️⃣ Look for the rainbow that appears on the wall or surface nearby.3️⃣ Move the light source or the object — notice how the rainbow shifts or disappears!

🧠 Tiny Spark Moment: Light bends, splits, and reveals all the colors hiding inside it — like a hidden rainbow. 🌈

💛 Keep It Going

Try this gratitude challenge: Each family member names one “color” of gratitude — something that brings them joy. 💛💚💙Talk about how, just like light, every color (and every person!) adds something special to the whole picture.
