About This Video
When the Colour Carnival comes to town, every costume must be the brightest possible version of one colour — and the parade through the streets is a dazzling river of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet moving together in music and dance. This animated celebration story takes children through each colour's carnival float, costume and dance style, culminating in a spectacular finale where all the colours mix together in the street and something entirely new appears — the moment when everyone's difference created something more beautiful than any single colour could achieve alone.
Perfect for children aged 2 to 7 who love colour, costume and music. After watching, design and make a carnival costume together using coloured paper, ribbons and fabric scraps. Hold a mini parade around the house. Free to watch with no account needed.

Parents' Questions
What happens at the Rainbow Colour Carnival in this animated story?
Each colour in the carnival is represented by its own float, dancers in coordinated costumes and a distinct music style. The red float features flamenco dancers in flame-coloured skirts. The yellow float has acrobats in sunflower costumes. The green float is covered in vines and leaves with forest dancers. The blue float is the sea — swirling silk fabric and silver fish costume tails. When all the floats eventually converge at the town square for the grand finale, the dancers from every colour mix together and the street becomes a painting in motion.
What creative activity should children do after watching the Rainbow Colour Carnival?
Design a carnival costume together — choose your favourite colour and create the most spectacular version of it possible using whatever materials you have: coloured paper cut into petals or feathers, tin foil, ribbons, old fabric, paint. Once the costume is ready, create a carnival dance to a favourite piece of music or a drumbeat you make yourselves. For children aged 2 to 7, the combination of colour choice, costume construction and performance creates one of the richest cross-disciplinary play activities possible — art, creativity, music and physical expression all in one costume parade.
What age is The Rainbow Colour Carnival story designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 7. Two to four year olds love the spectacle, the colours and the dancing. Children aged 5 to 7 follow the colour wheel narrative — noticing that the colours appear in rainbow order and discussing what happens when carnival dancers from different colour floats mix together mid-parade. One of the most popular videos for pre-carnival celebrations, international day school events and any creative art or colour topic — the story celebrates diversity, creativity and the spectacular result of different things coming together.
