Here are some of the things we will be doing. I'll post more as we go.
Books and Foods as Learning Tools
- Vividly colored produce can be used as tools to learn color names. Green lettuce, red strawberries, yellow bananas, purple grapes, oranges and blueberries are examples of colorful foods children recognize. You may choose to feature a single color by reading aloud a book like Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham," then making a green-themed lunch with foods such as a green salad, celery, green grapes, green tortilla chips and guacamole. Choose a different color to feature another day.
Learning With Color Stations
- Set up tables around the room, with each table designating a color station. Place a sign on the front of the table with the name of one color. Place solid-colored items at the corresponding color stations. For example, a blue station might include a blue toy car, a pair of blue jeans, a bowl of blueberries and blue crayons. As the child visits the various stations, a teacher, parent or helper picks up each item on the table and says the color name.
I had a few flash cards I just took the red ones out and put them on a board:
We have lots of red pillows so I made a play area. I also found all their red toys and took everything else to the playroom.
Im going to try with the coloring again, hopefully they wont just eat the crayons. :)
