“(and My Favorite One Too)”
Okay, you know how during birthday parties there’s always that one moment when everything is just a little too loud? The kids are running in different directions, someone’s trying to eat a balloon, and you’re just standing there like, “Where did I put my iced latte and also my sanity?” That’s when I pulled out the secret weapon:
Rainbow Ruby Coloring Pages.
Let me tell you — it’s pure magic. I printed out a stack of free Rainbow Ruby coloring sheets (bless the internet and also Canva), set them out on a low table with buckets of crayons and rainbow-colored markers, and called it “Color Your Rainbow World.” I even added a little sign with Ruby saying “Let’s create something colorful together!” because I am that mom now.

It was instant peace. The room got quieter in a way that made me suspicious at first. But then I looked over, and there they were — a table full of toddlers and kindergarteners, their little brows furrowed in concentration, trying to stay inside the lines (or not, which was also adorable). sOne little girl colored Rainbow Ruby’s hair green and named her Emerald Emily. Another turned her into a superhero with sparkles on her boots. And Madison? She used every single marker. At once. My girl’s got range.
