All around the world, children are drawing rainbows and putting them in the windows of their homes to show support for healthcare workers. You and your family can create a rainbow to put in your window to share the love! En todo el mundo, los niños dibujan arcoíris y los colocan en las ventanas de sus hogares para mostrar su apoyo a los trabajadores de la salud. ¡Tú y tu familia pueden crear un arco iris para poner en su ventana para decir gracias y de compartir el amor!  Rainbows are a symbol of hope. Los arcoiris son un símbolo de esperanza. The Rainbow Connection Sing Along with Kermit the Frog: Canta la conexión arcoiris con Kermit the Frog. Letras de canciones proporcionadas: Please take a photo of your rainbow and send it to me. Por favor, toma una foto de tu arcoiris y envíamela.

Glue or draw on eyes,  a      small triangular nose, and a mouth
