We always have fun doing Color Days. This week for O, have an ORANGE DAY!
- Wear orange clothes.
- Have orange juice and orange-tinted, O-shaped pancakes for breakfast!
- Read An Orange in January by Dianna Hutts Aston.
- (This is perfect because our O week falls right in January!)
- Let your preschooler feel an orange, roll an orange, smell an orange and help you peel an orange.
- TIP: I like the little clementine cuties because they are so sweet and so easy to peel!
- Orange Hunt
- Paint 2 toilet paper tubes with orange paint. Let dry.
- Tape the tubes together. Or have the kids write their name on an orange strip of paper and wrap that around the two tubes. Secure with tape.
- Punch a hole in each tube and attach a long orange piece of yarn to hang the orange binoculars around your neck.
- Go on an orange hunt around your house or outside or at the grocery store or anywhere!
- Mixing Orange Paint
- Put a small amount of red & yellow paint in a ziploc bag. Zip tightly!
- Let the kids rub, squeeze and mush the bag around until the colors mix to make orange paint!
- Musical Colors
- Put several orange and non-orange items in a bag.
- Give the kids an instrument (an O-shaped pot lid and a spoon, an O-shaped oatmeal container to use as a drum, or simply a toy xylophone)
- Pull an item out of the bag.
- If it is orange, PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT!
- If it is not orange, be silent!
- Fingerpaint with butterscotch pudding. Or vanilla pudding tinted orange.
Snack Idea: Orange slices or orange-flavored jigglers Jello cut into circle shapes.
