Spring Color Walk
[20 Minutes]
Enjoy the beautiful spring weather and delight your child by going on a spring color walk together!
You'll need:
• color cards or chart (optional)
What to do:
- Invite your child to get ready to go on a fun "look for spring colors walk" with you.
- Talk about the colors that you might see. Include pastels; pink, tan, and gray as well as the usual red, white, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple, black and brown. Make a color chart with crayons if you wish.
- Ask your child to find objects on your walk that are specific colors.
- Challenge him to connect his "find" to the springtime. For example: the white puppy running through the garden, gray clouds bringing spring showers, and so on.
- When you get back home, try to remember what you saw of each color and how it related to spring.
Let's Talk: Ideas to Explore Together.
- Find me something that is pink?
- What is your favorite color?
- Do you think you could draw a picture showing some of the things we saw on our walk?
Useful information:
While you are having fun together, this activity helps your child develop observational skills, thinking skills, and large muscle skills.
