"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

Try this color activity for transition time.


These big blooms keep little ones buzzing with activity! In your meeting area, adhere green masking tape stems to the floor. Cut the flower blossoms, centers, and flowerpot from construction paper and use clear Con-Tact covering to adhere the cutouts to the floor. Set a container of five beanbags near the flowerpot. If desired, attach a colorful bee cutout to each beanbag with clear Con-Tact covering. A child stands behind the flowerpot, names a color, and attempts to toss the beanbag onto the matching flower center. In a similar manner, a child can stand on the flowerpot and hop from flower to flower, naming the colors along way.
