Free Printable Rainbow Bear Graph for Colors
We love, love, love rainbow bears!! Every time we change out the activities on our shelves we have to have a new rainbow bear activity or two or three… This month will we have all sorts of rainbow bear fun, starting with this free printable rainbow bear graph activity for colors. My daughter loved rolling the printable cube and finding the matching colored bears to put on the graph, so I’ll be making use of her enthusiasm to repeat this graphing activity a few times!
Recommended Grade Level:
Materials Needed for the Rainbow Bear Graphing Activity:
- Laminating Supplies
- Cardstock
- Scrapbook Paper Trimmer
- Rainbow Bears
It is totally optional to laminate, but I laminate everything that we plan to use more than once. Otherwise, it gets all creased and messy with my daughter’s excitement. I just placed an order for 400 more Scotch laminating pouches tonight, so that we can continue with our fun activities!!

To prep: Print and laminate the rainbow bear graph page. Print, cut out and assemble the rainbow bear cube. This easy prep is well worth your time once you see the excited look on the kids’ faces!
To use: Roll the cube. Add one rainbow bear with the matching color to the correct column on the graph.
You can try a few different goals:
What does the graph look like after 12 rolls?
How many rolls does it take to get one color to reach the top of the graph?
If we use the graph more than one time, do we get the same results?
With Shiloh, my main goal was to help her with color recognition and sorting into columns of the graph. You will be surprised at how easily kids can grasp the purpose of the columns on the graph! I didn’t have to explain to her more than to point out the colored bears on the bottom before we started the activity.
We’re still working on color names, so I made sure to repeat the colors every time she rolled, picked up a bear, and placed a bear.
“You rolled a blue bear.”
“You put the purple bear on the graph.”
You have a yellow bear.”
What seems so silly and repetitious to us as adults is extremely important for language development. Kids need to hear words repeated, especially when they have a concrete object to refer to such as a rainbow bear.
Take a picture of your children using the Rainbow Bear Graph and share it on Instagram with the hashtag #toolsforlearning to join in the Manipulative Challenge! All this year, we’re sharing ways to make learning fun and hands-on!

I’m trying to download the Rainbow Bears graph and there is no link or box to put my email address in. Love your work and so does my class! Thanks for your help!
Hi Jennie, Each free printable has a form near the end of the article for you to enter your email address. On rare occasions, a firewall on your internet service may prevent the form from showing up. If that is the case for you, I suggest trying a different internet connection or device. If that still doesn’t help, please contact us at kim@lifeovercs.com with a screenshot of what you are experiencing and we’ll be happy to help you get the resource. Hope that helps!
Due to the free nature of the activity, I am not able to make additional adjustments to it. I would suggest having the kids color the boxes on the graph or using small objects that they have at home to fill the graph.
I’m not sure what the problem was. Sometimes it can get stuck if the internet connection is not strong enough. I am sending you the activity now.
