How to Make a DIY Rainbow Marker

Ok.  So, let's make our rainbow marker... in less than a minute.  Drum roll please.

Grab a yellow marker.  Then, grab blue and red highlighter markers.  Then, color in your yellow marker as so, making sure to color all the way around the tip.



Now drag your yellow marker over a sheet of paper.  A rainbow appears!

And that's it!  Of course, rainbow making capabilities will NOT be permanent.  But this neat "wow" activity for kids will certainly brighten up everyone's day!

Happy making, friends!
