First we had a mirror and used it reflect sunlight onto the wall. We tried a few others things to see how they would reflect light. A little bit later Holden had a CD and was making a small rainbow with it. Instead of reflecting a light spot on the wall it reflects a rainbow. Try it out sometime. The photo is a rainbow I made on a light colored wall in a darkened room. There's a neat source on-line about reflecting rainbows with CDs. Very fascinating.

That's so cool! Please submit it to Unschooling Voices! It's just perfect for this months topic.
Here's the link.
Very cool! I was just reading your blog and Haley saw the rainbow...I asked her if she wanted to try to make her own rainbow so we got out a cd, prism and mirror and went to town...
That's so pretty. Saw link on Unschooling Voices. We have a fruit tree in our backyard that had cds on it when we moved in. I assume to scare off the birds (doesn't work, btw), but it makes beautiful reflections in our yard.
