Rainbows, Weather & Wonder – April Curriculum Box (Printed DIY Edition)
A month of colour, curiosity and weather-filled wonder
Welcome to Rainbows, Weather & Wonder - your April Early Years Curriculum Box, thoughtfully planned, beautifully printed, and delivered straight to your door.
April is a month that naturally captures children’s attention.
Sunshine one minute… rain the next.
Windy days, puddles, bright skies and swirling clouds.
And sometimes - if you’re lucky, a rainbow appearing across the sky.
Young children notice these moments instinctively. They feel the wind on their faces, stare at the clouds, jump in puddles and ask endless questions about what they see happening around them.
This month’s theme captures that sense of wonder and discovery, turning everyday weather into rich, meaningful learning experiences.
Throughout the month, children will explore:
• rain, wind and sunshine
• colour and light
• shadows and reflections
• weather sounds and movement
• rainbow patterns and colour mixing
• the changing spring environment
All through hands-on play, investigation, creativity, conversation and movement.
Because in the early years, the best learning happens when children are curious, excited and actively exploring the world around them.
And the best part is... you don’t have to print a thing.

Created by Someone Who Truly Understands Early Years
Hi, I’m Becca – The Childcare Fairy.
As a qualified teacher and early years provider, I know how much time, thought and care goes into planning meaningful experiences for young children.
I also know how busy settings are.
You want learning to feel exciting and purposeful, but you don’t want to spend hours reinventing the wheel each month.
That’s exactly why these boxes exist.
They’re designed to support practitioners, reduce planning pressure, and help deliver beautiful, thoughtful learning experiences that children genuinely love.
Because the Early Years Matter
The early years are where children begin building their relationship with learning.
This is where curiosity grows.
Where confidence begins.
Where wonder matters.
When children are given opportunities to explore, question, create, move and investigate the world around them, they develop the foundations that will support their learning for years to come.
The Rainbows, Weather & Wonder Curriculum Box captures that magic.
Turning everyday weather and colour into powerful learning experiences filled with curiosity, creativity and discovery.
