Today's Giveaway: Learning Manipulatives
Since students often do green themed activities during color thematic units we're giving away manipulatives that will help your toddler learn all of their colors through sorting. These are also great for counting practice. Please be aware that these are small in size and young children will need to be supervised when using these.
A big bag of colorful buttons, some like these were used yesterday's post on Sorting - "Muffin Tin Sorting" activity.
But that's not all...to help your toddler learn how to sort by color and other attributes, as well as count, we're adding a package of sorting "jewels". These are spring and summer themed pebbles. Your child can put all the palm trees together, all the pink things together, etc. and count them.
You will also be getting a package of 25 mini dinosaurs. The kindergarteners loved these! You can count them or sort by dinos with spikes and without, standing on fours or on two, color, meat eater or vegetarian. They are also pretty fun to play with.

ReplyDeleteWow! What a great blog you have. I just happened to click on a link on a blog I went to from Tot School. I am so glad I found this blog. I will be adding your link to my blog.
ReplyDeleteoh I forgot. I'd love to have idea of stuff to do for grey themed day. It is an often forgoten color.
ReplyDeleteWe have been doing green activities for St Patricks Day!
ReplyDeleteI think you should have a yellow day, because that the little guys favorite color!
I agree with the yellow suggestions. Springtime would be a great tie-in theme...we are seeing the sun for a longer period each day, daffodils, baby chicks.

ReplyDeleteyellow for Spring.
ReplyDeleteWe did green a few weeks ago and we did a green Easter egg hunt (my daughter is obsessed with the plastic Easter eggs I bought last week and I hadn't had time to hide them yet) and ate only green veggies. She also wore an all green outfit and painted with green paint.
I love your blog. Thanks for the great ideas.
I love doing colors with my daughter... her favorite right now is ORANGE.
ReplyDeleteSo far today we have sorted Lucky Charms marshmallows (and my 6 yo made a graph of them), made handprint Leprechauns and done stamp painting with green pepper halves (it looks a little like a shamrock!). We have finger-painting with pistachio pudding coming up next. :)
...and I follow you via Google Reader.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm not a St. Patrick's Day lover...yet. Yesterday we went to a St. Pat's party though. We aren't doing any green activities, but I do plan to make green eggs for lunch.
ReplyDeleteAs for the next color,I think black or white would be good! They seem to be hard for me to come up with ideas, but with lots of heads together, I'm sure you'll come up with great ideas all over!
I am a follower. :)
ReplyDeleteI have your link on my sidebar.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a purple themed day.
ReplyDeleteI say YELLOW to get us looking forward to the SUN coming out!
ReplyDeleteI fixed my 3-year old some "green cuisine" last night in honor of St. Patty's Day. We were supposed to go to a party today, but it had to get canceled because her son had pink eye. :(

ReplyDeleteHow about purple to feature :) We had a fun green science project today by making up a batch of yellow and a batch of blue play dough. When they combine you get . . . GREEN!
ReplyDeleteYellow and purple are two great colors!!!
ReplyDeleteI have not done any green activities, but I did do some with my class before we left for Spring Break :)
