Winter is finally here -- seriously! It was 10 degrees out this morning! Ugh! Anyway, now that I can't get G out to the playground and running around outside as often, I started prepping some games to play.
So G really wanted to do a “rain craft” today, but ughhh Monday…. I didn’t feel like scraping glue off the table or scrubbing paint when we were done, so I pulled out this super simple SCIENCE idea that I’ve been saving for a while.

A spooky twist to a favorite classic, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, uses the repetition of the book to reinforce colors and color words.
Have children follow the directions and color the shapes. Can be used to assess shape or color word identification.
Today we tried out ice cube painting and it was AWESOME. They are a cool twist on traditional watercolors. Plus, this is a perfect activity for those HOT summer days.
I love puzzles - they're great tool to help teach tots about shapes, problem solving, fine motor, etc. but let's face it -- puzzles don't get the attention they deserve.
This book is a great way to review color words with children.

Book provides words only. Children draw and color the appropriate balloon on each page.
Ok so this one was SUPER easy but requires a little planning ahead. Today G did ice painting! It was so fun and super simple!
