Materials and Prep

Activities
-
Rainbow Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around the house or yard to find objects that match each color of the rainbow. For example, find something red, something blue, etc. This will help Fynn connect colors to real-life objects!
-
Color Sorting Game: Gather various colored items (like toys or household objects) and have Fynn sort them into groups based on their colors. This will reinforce color recognition and sorting skills.
-
Rainbow Dance Party: Play some fun music and have a dance party where each song is associated with a different color. For example, dance with red scarves or blue balloons. This will make learning colors a joyful experience!
-
Color Art Time: Encourage Fynn to use crayons or markers to draw a rainbow. Talk about each color as he colors them in. This will help him practice his fine motor skills while learning about colors.
Talking Points

- "Did you know that rainbows have seven colors? Let's count them together!"
- "Look at the sky! Can you find something that is blue? What about something green?"
- "When we mix colors, we can make new ones! What happens if we mix red and yellow?"
