Activities

• Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around the house or outside. Ask the student to find objects of specific colors, like "Can you find something red?" This encourages observation and color recognition.

• Mixing Colors: Use imaginary paint to mix colors. Ask the student what happens when you mix blue and yellow. Encourage them to think creatively about what new colors they can make!

• Colorful Drawing: Have the student draw a picture using their favorite colors. Encourage them to tell a story about their picture and what each color means to them.

• Color Songs: Sing a fun song about colors together. You can make up a silly song or use a simple tune to sing about different colors and what they like.
