"C" is for COLORS

Home Depot was nice enough to supply our activity for us today:)

The paint section at your local home improvement store, is a GREAT place to talk about COLOR!
They allowed me to grab a variety of paint samples from the Disney Section at Home Depot...perfect for our theme this week...

I helped the children punch holes in the corner of their color samples...

and then stuck a little ring(also at Home Depot in the paint section) through them, so each child had their very own COLOR FLIP BOOK!

We also got a COLOR palette for Behr paint & talked about all different SHADES of colors and how some COLORS are lighter & some are darker...

We also waterCOLORED a COLORful rainbow today...

We focused on using a VARIETY OF COLORS & taking our time while waterCOLORING...

We read "Go, Dog G0", which is full of all different COLORS of dogs & when the kids would see a BLUE dog...they would race to find their BLUE MICKEY MOUSE in their color flip chart. They had fun with this simple reading game!

During snack today, I turned on Clifford, the big RED Dog & we talked about all of the COLORS we saw, as we ate!

At Home Activity Ideas:
Colors are EVERYWHERE! Take the opportunity to talk about COLORS with your child at the grocery store, while watching TV, while playing with toys, while driving down the road or plan a simple coloring activity with PAINT, MARKERS, CRAYONS or CHALK!

Play "I Spy" with your child this week.
Say, "I spy something___BLUE__"
Then your child can look around the room and try to spot what you are thinking of that is BLUE.
Then let your child take a turn "Spying" something a specific color!
