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.

Color Wheel

This simple activity will be a huge hit during center time. Visual discrimination and fine motor skills will be enhanced as children match the clothespins (color dot) to the correct section on the wheel. Make sure you use various shades of the same color for an interesting challenge.
