[Nfb-krafters-korner] Using a Color Wheel and RAINBOW

Thu Jul 14 13:52:51 UTC 2011

Linda, thanks for this, and what a creative way to organise your jewelry! We 
had a few rhymes and songs to remember stuff as kids, but I have not heard 
of this one, so I guess we are never too old to learn new things.
Thanks again for this. I think it will especially help since one can't just 
find a picture and remind yourself of the colors of the rainbow.
My little girl of 4 just loves rainbows. We have some glass bricks in one 
wall of our house and one day the kids came and told me, in awe, that there 
was a rainbow in my room. At first I didn't understand and I thought it was 
simply a rainbow they saw through the window.
Then I realized that the effect was caused by the sunlight falling through 
the glass bricks.
Now I tell them that when the sun shines, we have our own little rainbow in 
that room all the time.
Lindy
