My First Look at Colors

For our craft we colored a ladybug and covered it with pieces of red tissue paper

Extra activities:

What color are you wearing?
If you are wearing red, shake your head
If you are wearing blue, touch your shoe
If you are wearing green, bow like a queen
If you are wearing yellow, shake like Jell-O
If you are wearing brown, turn around
If you are wearing pink, give a wink

Hokey Pokey
(I gave each child a bag with different colored cut outs and we sang and danced)
You put your blue snowflake in, you take your blue snowflake out
You put your blue snowflake in, and you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about (we then threw our snowflakes in the air)
(repeated with red apple, orange pumpkin, green shamrock and yellow chick)

Four Red Apples
Four red apples high on the tree,
one fell down next to me.
I gave it to mother and this is what she said,
"I love apples, juicy and red".

Three red apples high on the tree,
one fell down next to me.
I gave it to father and this is what he said,
"I love apples, juicy and red".

Two red apples high on the tree,
one fell down next to me.
I gave it to brother and this is what he said
"I love apples, juicy and red".

One red apple high on the tree,
one fell down next to me.
I gobbled it up and this is what I said,
"No more apples, juicy and red!"
