Stages of making the pony Rainbow Dash
From the sheet we cut out all the details that are located on it. This is the body, and the head, and the paws, and the mane with the tail.
We select three parts that relate to the head. We bend the small white “corners” and glue them together.
Then we glue all three parts together.
Now let's move on to the neck and torso. Just two details. Glue along the small white areas. Cut a short vertical line onto the body piece.
We connect the neck part with the chest from the torso part.
We insert the neck and body into the small hole in the head.
Now we take four parts that relate to the paws. The two pieces that have rainbow designs on them are the back ones. Glue together to get three-dimensional shapes.
Glue the front legs to the body.
Then let's move on to the hind legs.
We bend three parts (wings and tail) in half and apply glue in the middle. Glue it together.
We insert the tail into the small hole. Secure with glue.
We cut the multi-colored part along the lines and glue it together.
Glue the mane to the head, covering the back.
Glue the two ear parts together. Glue it to the mane.
We glue the remaining two teardrop-shaped and multi-colored elements onto the mane.
We glue the finished wings to the body so that they stand.
Pony Rainbow Dash is ready according to the finished template!
From time immemorial, the rainbow has been considered a symbol of joy and optimism. After all, what could be more joyful than seeing a bright multi-colored arc in the sky in the middle of the rain. This spectacle makes adults smile, and children are truly delighted. However, sometimes you really, really want to see a rainbow, but the rain just doesn’t come and doesn’t come, or, on the contrary, it rains non-stop, not letting a single ray of sunshine through.
It is for such cases that we have prepared several ways to make a rainbow yourself at home or in the yard.
Making a rainbow with a hose
This method is perhaps the most difficult and troublesome, but the rainbow turns out exactly like a real one. Adults can probably figure out how to make a rainbow this way, but for children it seems like real magic.
This experiment should be carried out outside on a sunny day. Place a special spray nozzle on the hose and direct the stream upward. The sun's rays will be refracted in small droplets, just as they do during rain, and you will see a rainbow.
If you don’t have a special nozzle, you can clamp the hose with your finger so that the water flows not in a massive stream, but in many small splashes. The same experiment can be carried out on a smaller scale, outdoors or even in the house, using an ordinary plant sprayer instead of a hose.
Rainbow using CD
Many children themselves know how to make a rainbow using an old CD. Well, if they don’t know, it’s time to show them this simple trick. To do this, you only need a disk and the sun's rays, or a flashlight. By the way, such a rainbow can be made even in the dark.
This effect can also be used in a photo shoot to take unusual, bright photos, for example, by directing rainbow highlights onto or near the model’s face.
You can make a garland from pieces of old CDs and hang it on the window so that the rainbow peeps into the room more often.
How to make a rainbow using a mirror
For this experiment you will need a clear bowl of water, a small mirror and a flashlight. If you take a sheet of white paper, the rainbow will be visible more clearly. Place the mirror in the water so that it is submerged and at an angle. Now position the bowl so that the sun's rays fall on the mirror, or shine it with a flashlight. Place a sheet of paper in front of the bowl. The light, reflected from the mirror, will refract in the water, and you will see beautiful rainbow highlights on the sheet.
These are the ways you can make a homemade rainbow even on the cloudiest day.
And finally, we invite you and your child to watch an interesting and understandable video about how a rainbow appears in the sky if sunlight white, and the water drops are transparent.
Admit it, when you see a rainbow, you also can’t take your eyes off and go about your business? This a natural phenomenon It not only brightens (and in the literal sense of the word too) our lives, it imperceptibly gives a complete feeling of happiness, generously shares joy, and gives a feeling of involvement in magic. Isn't this a reason to think about surrounding yourself with as many rainbows as possible? Everyday life? It is clear that painting a house completely inside and outside with stripes of seven colors is overkill, but filling the space with crafts, handicrafts and other beauties with DIY rainbow- why not? If you have neither the time nor the mood for such feats, involve children in the task, they will quickly provide you with everything you need! Yes, just don't forget to give them necessary materials, and the deal is in the bag: DIY rainbow, that is, with the hands of children, you are ready!
DIY rainbow - 5 crafts with children:
1. Drawing
All children love to draw! Of course, if you offer them strictly 7 faded pencils and a piece of paper, it is unlikely that anyone will be seriously inspired by the rainbow theme, but you can move away from the templates. Have you tried drawing with dad's shaving foam? Or mom's eye shadow? And if instead of a brush you take something non-standard, it will be a million times more interesting!
2. Application
For small children - something primitive, for older ones - something more complex. But the essence is the same: take multi-colored material (paper, felt, hand-dyed cotton wool, beads, ribbons, fabrics) and fold a rainbow with your own hands. Brighter, richer, more fun. It could be a picture on the wall, a poster on the door, a postcard for grandma - anything, as long as it’s with the seven-colored beauty who gives everyone joy!
3. Rainbow Balloon Balls
Yes, you will have to tinker a little here - most likely, the children will not be able to cope with this craft on their own, however, just think about how much positive benefit and joy it will bring similar creativity, and you will no longer have any doubts about the feasibility of the project. Go to the store, buy the smallest balls and be sure to entertain the children with such rainbow beauty. It's worth it.
4. Rainbow garland
Decorate your home with a homemade garland the kids make? Why not? It will be bright and beautiful, soulful and very warm. Well, and besides everything else, it’s also rosy! Choose a base (thread, rope, tape or just paper) and create what you like.
What could be more beautiful and fantastic than a rainbow? Only a rainbow created with my own hands. The easiest way to make a rainbow is to shine light through a prism. But you don’t always have a prism at hand, and you really want to experiment with a rainbow.
There are several ways to make a rainbow at home using improvised materials, let's look at a few of them.
Rainbow from the disk
This is a very simple way to get a rainbow from an item that is in almost every home today - a CD. The disc will fit any CD\DVD\Blueray; just reflect the sunlight from it and a beautiful rainbow will play on a white wall.
Rainbow from the water
To do this, you need to shine light through water. For example, you can place a glass of water on the windowsill on a sunny day and the light passing through the water will create a rainbow. If this doesn’t work, you can take a mirror and put it in a glass of water and try to reflect the sunlight with it.
You can also take a flat, shallow container and place a mirror in it at an angle so that one half is above the water and reflect sunlight onto the white surface. The rainbow will appear immediately. The larger the container with water and the mirror, the larger the rainbow.
If the sky is cloudy and the sun is not shining at all, you can make a rainbow using the same methods using a flashlight. But such a rainbow will not be so bright, so you will have to close the curtains tightly and then start experimenting.
Well, if the sun is shining brightly, there is another surefire way to make a rainbow. But for this you will have to go outside and find a hose connected to a water tap. Now all that remains is to pinch the end of the hose so that the water comes out of it as a fine spray, and direct it upward into the sun. A rainbow will sparkle in the splashes of water.

Rainbow at home.
Purpose of the study: define what it is rainbow how is it formed, and is it possible to obtain rainbow at home.
Research objectives:
1. Find out where it comes from rainbow.
2. Determine what they are rainbows.
3. Try to get rainbow at home.
Progress of the lesson:
1. What is rainbow?
Rainbow- modified word "raiduga", or God's arc.
(According to V. Dahl's dictionary)
Rainbow- a multi-colored arc-shaped stripe on the firmament,
formed due to the refraction of sunlight in raindrops.
(Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language by Ozhegova S.I.)
Both ancient people and ancient scientists tried to unravel the cause of its occurrence. 2. How is it formed? rainbow?
Sunlight appears white to us. But in fact it consists of several colors. It happens that when it rains, the sun comes out, and then the sunlight passes through the water droplets and "disintegrates" for several colors. There are always seven of these colors, and they are arranged in strict order. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. So it turns out multi-colored rainbow. An object that can split a ray of light into its components is called "prism". The resulting colors create a strip of colored lines called "range". Rainbow and there is a large spectrum, or band of colored lines, resulting from the decay of a ray of light passing through raindrops. IN in this case raindrops act as a prism.
Rainbow appears, only when the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and only in the direction opposite to the sun.
Rainbow appears when the sun illuminates the curtain of rain. You need to be strictly between the sun (it should be at the back) and rain (he should be in front of you). Otherwise can't see the rainbow!
The sun, our eyes and center rainbows must be on the same line! If the sun is high in the sky, then it is impossible to draw such a straight line. That's why rainbow can only be observed early in the morning or late in the evening. Rainbow appears under condition that the angular height of the sun above the horizon does not exceed 42 degrees.
Does it happen? rainbow without rain?
It turns out that such a miracle also happens. In the air in winter "float" ice crystals. They can share too White color for seven colors rainbows, That's why rainbow can be observed even in winter.
