Color Me a Rainbow was a religious children's show that first aired in 1987 on the American Christian Television Station (ACTS), which was a precursor to today's Hallmark Channel. The show was produced by Shepherd & Associates in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The main theme of the show was to teach about Jesus Christ in a child-friendly matter. The main characters included the puppets Froggie (a green male frog), Crow (a blue female crow), and Turtle (a green male turtle), along with their human mother/guardian named Jana Wacker as well as an elementary school-aged girl (name unknown) who hosted the mini-segments involving making crafts. In addition to the crafts, each episode included a Bible verse sing-a-long with children playing simple instruments. Lastly, the subject of each episode is discussed with several children providing their answers to questions provided by Jana and/or the puppets.
Kids were also encouraged to send in fan letters (with Froggie writing the responses) as well as their own drawings of rainbows (some of which were presented on the show). Staring with the 7th episode, Froggie shows some of the letters, rainbow drawings, and even pictures of some of the show's fans. The show also sold many types of Color Me A Rainbow merchandise, such as the videos, T-shirt, coloring book, and other things through the use of commercials hosted by the puppets. These commercials were not included in the videos.
