Pre School Color Game

Here is a simple and inexensive game that helps little ones learn their colors.

All we used is color swatches from the paint store. I pick 2 strips from each color family.

Cut in between the colors.

I put out one of each color and Cheyanne matched the rest.

The game is a little too easy for her, but it worked great in my 2 year old pre school class.

You probably know this but you can have your daughter match the different shades of each color. That might be a little more challenging for her.

What a great game! I always look at those paint samples and think, "What could I do with those??"

When we did it we turned them over and played Memory with them.

I do like this idea and I'm sure there are lots of variations on it that would be fun too.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.
