Colors

Young children love to explore the colors in their world, which makes it easy to help them learn the skills of color recognition and discrimination they will need when they enter school. Using the ideas and suggestions in Colors, you can provide your child with many inviting opportunities for color learning. The book opens with the chapter "Basic Colors," which focuses on red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, brown, black, and white. For each color, there are suggestions for an art activity plus a learning game or other kind of color activity. In the second chapter, "Color Review," you will find activities that can be used with any color plus activities that deal with more than one color. These activities include suggestions for language, art, learning games, music and movement, science, and snacks, thus giving your child a wide variety of learning experiences.
