COLOR THEIR WORLD!
My background in Early Childhood
Education comes to this venue with over 35 years working with children and
families in a southwestern Indiana river town.
Our center worked with 115 – 3, 4 & 5 year olds each year. As each year began we targeted centers, story
time, music, outdoor play, snacks and special events
around color.
Create a colored basket and add many
books for the children to explore.
Spicy-Hot-Colors is a great book to introduce to children.
Check out the Blue
Chicken by Deborah Freedman
Another book about colors and don’t
forget “Pete the Cat” along with any other books you can fill your color basket
with to invite the children to look and read.
Enjoy this beautiful
book filled with color and invite the children to make their own colorful
butterfly. Coffee filters, markers and
water sprayed on the marker creates a beautiful butterfly that can be added to
a clothespin body or tied in the middle with a pipe cleaner for the body and a
half of a pipe cleaner used for antenna.
Little Blue and Little
Yellow has been a favorite for many, many years. Purchase two rolls of cellophane YELLOW &
BLUE – found at local craft stores. Cut
out circles and add a craft stick and now you have two puppets. The children can act out this story using
their puppets and you can send them home with a note to the parents about this
beautiful story.
a story I read as the Monarch Butterflies evolve in Southern Indiana. The colors in the illustrations are exceptional as is the story. Go to Amazon or ABE Books and get a copy to share with children.
