Color Activities

This month your kids will be reviewing the colors with use of the rainbow, so I thought it would be appropriate to share activities that you can do at home with their new vocabulary. Repetition and perfect practice makes perfect! Courtesy of enchantedlearning.com I found a fun HANDS-on activity!

You will need:

• Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple construction paper
• A large piece of neutral-colored paper (about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 ft long), or work directly on a bulletin board
• Scissors
• A pencil and a marker
• Glue

Using the colored construction paper, have the children trace their hands. Make about 10 handprints of each of the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).

Cut out the hand prints and put the child's name on his or her print.

Glue the handprints onto the paper in a rainbow shape. You now have a Handprint Rainbow to help you celebrate St. Patrick's Day.

Be sure to use the vocabulary of the colors for each language.
