Primary Colors and Rainbows

 Today we practiced matching the primary colors.  Red, yellow, and blue circles were taped to our bridge.  Friends used their gross motor skills to climb the bridge and then go to the toy shelf and find the correct color.  

E: "Blue goes here!"

J: "Blue!"

In the sensory bin we had pom-poms and water.  The pom-poms were fun to squish and we enjoyed draining them in colanders.

Friends have been really enjoying playing a new sensory game this week.  We have weighted bean bags that are fun to toss over the toy shelfs, either to play catch with a friend or to toss them into a basket.  This has been a great way to help our kiddos self-regulate.

At the train table, today, we practiced counting.  We matched colorful pegs to the number cards and enjoyed doing this from many different places on and around the train table.

At the art table we added colorful stickers to our rainbows.  We took turns with the different colors and told each other what colors we were using.  

E: "Green nose!"

G: "Stickers"
