Color Matching

Today's blog entry is an "up-cycle" or a "re-purposing" of sorts.  It is a color matching and color word identification game.  Very simple, yet effective!

Although I am not the best photographer, you get the concept? This activity is going to be for your Pre-Kinders, Transitional Kinders and Kindergartner's.

This activity is made from the little viles of water that florist put on the ends of flower stems. 

Here is what you need:

Viles from your latest flower bouquet

Food coloring or liquid watercolors

Water

Markers

Paper

Seran Wrap

Here is what you do:

Fill each vile of water and then add your drops of color...Then, take a tiny piece of seran wrap and seal the top and put the lid on.

 Cut your paper in to little strips and write each of the color words on them...using the color of the word that you are printing (use a green marker when writing "green"). 

Viola! You have a new easy "go-to" game!  As your children play this game and begin to really comprehend what each of the color words are...step it up.  Write each of the color words in a black marker and have them match this way.

Ms. Dina...this blog entry is dedicated to you...thanks for the game idea!
