- Gather your materials. I used 2 of each color paint chip (8 in all), 4 clothes pins, 1 strip of cardboard (side of a cereal box), and some double stick tape. I am far too impatient for glue.
- Cut your paint chips to fit onto the cardboard.
- Tape them down well.
- Using the 2nd paint chip, cut small strips to go on the top of the clothespins.
- Tape them down.
- Start playing with paint chip color matching!
“Brown Bear Brown Bear” by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle is a classic, it is genius in its simplicity. So often we think things have to have fancy bells and whistles to keep toddlers and preschoolers interested. This book proves us wrong yet again. I haven’t met a child who hasn’t responded well to this book about colors and animals!
“Lemons Are Not Red” by Laura Vaccaro Seeger is a clever book each page offers a sneak peek at what it next, which my son thought was genius and I have to agree. Soon my son was making his own predictions about what object would be revealed when we turned the page. The book offered so many chances for me to step in and ask my son questions about what we were reading without stalling the momentum of the book.
