Color the Rainbow with Fruit Loops ~ Addition Math Game
Rainbows are my favorite sign of spring. We had a few Fruit Loops left over after we made our delicious Fruit Loop Treats (if you have not tried making them, you totally should. The kids LOVE them!) These colorful little Fruit Loops work perfect as game pieces for our rainbow math game.

Hi, Tammy! Great math game!! What if you placed a tiny color sticker on each side of the dice to correspond to the colors of your rainbow strips? Then you could also turn this into a graphing game to see which color comes up the most, the least, if there are any equivalent sets, etc…..
Love that idea Carla!!! We will have to try that next time.
