Color Sorting and Puffy Paint

 Today at our art table we made puffy paint.  We mixed shaving cream, glue and paint together.  Friends were able request which color to make next and help mix the ingredients together.  Once we made the paint, we used to to decorate a rainbow.  




Continuing our rainbow theme at another table, we used Froot Loops to do color sorting on pipe cleaners.  Some of us found the matching pipe cleaner and cereal colors and threaded them on.  Some of us just enjoyed practicing our pincher grasp and threading any color on.  All of us enjoyed how this activity tasted. 





We also enjoyed matching colors using alphabet puzzle pieces.  Mason jars wrapped in corresponding colored paper allowed our children to match the colored letters.  This was a great peer modeling activity, some of our older friends were able to guide us on how to match!

E: "Red is here!"

J: "Red! Red!"
