Rainbow Fairy Colouring Magic

Meet this bright Rainbow Fairy, a cheerful sky helper who paints colour across the clouds, polishes the stars and waves to everyone below. Her star crown, softly curled hair, rounded striped wings, rainbow wand, banded dress and little star shoes provide plenty of large, friendly sections for young artists to fill. Start with peach, tan, brown or any imaginative shade for her face and hands, then choose golden yellow, chestnut, black, copper or a magical pastel colour for her hair. Colour the large rainbow from the outside inward using red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Repeat those colours across the wide dress bands, or reverse their order for a playful surprise. Make the wings lighter with soft pink, peach, lemon, mint, sky blue and lavender, using a darker line of colour along each curved band. The crown can be gold or silver with stars in yellow, pink and blue. Colour the rainbow wand in the same seven-colour order and give its star a bright golden centre. Leave the big cloud white with pale blue, pink or lavender along its rounded edges, then decorate the smaller clouds and stars with gentle pastel shades. Use smooth curved strokes that follow each rainbow band, shorter strokes around the crown and light even strokes on the wings. Finish with darker edges around the shoes and wand so this happy Rainbow Fairy looks ready to brighten the whole sky.
