Talking Points
- "Spring is a season when flowers start blooming and trees grow new leaves. We can see many colors around us during spring!"
- "Let's use these color cards to match the colors of the flowers we find outside. Can you find a flower that matches the red card?"
- "Look at this picture of a sunny spring day. Can you use the color cards to match the colors of the sun, grass, and flowers in the picture?"
- "Now, let's use the color cards to create our own spring artwork. What colors do you want to use for your painting or drawing?"
