Green color hunt how to#

It wouldn’t be a Twitter event without prizes and we have some great ones. Come Chat With Us On Twitter!Ĭome chat with me about how we can encourage our kids to explore and care for the earth. We found worms, lots of spiders and, stopped to play too. Take time to explore the nature around your home as well. Luckily I knew! She didn’t know how excited I was to hear her curiosity grow past the boundaries of this activity.

We didn’t have a spot for white in our carton but when she found this dandelion she asked me how to say white in French and Spanish. Some of the colors were easy to find… some not so much. I did each color in each language one time. Each time I wanted to make sure she said the word and knew whether it was Spanish or French. Some of the colors she knew so this exchange would be shortened. What color do you think that is?” If she didn’t know I would point to the color in the carton and say “Look this is Violet, violet means ….” and she’d say “Purple!” and I would add “Yes violet is how you say purple in French.” We followed this pattern for most of the colors. Look for colors by first saying the word in French or Spanish. We are building a small addition to our house right now and I think the guy working outside thought I was insane as I took picture after picture of my daughter… I didn’t have time to explain.

Time to gather your little learner and head outside. Next, write down the color word on the top of the carton next to the color. I loved that I could color two of each so my daughter could say the color one time in French and once in Spanish for each little bit of nature she popped in it. We followed the colors in the book which were red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. Start by coloring the inside of the carton in the colors you will be learning.

We also used an egg carton, some markers, and nature from our yard. We used our Little Pim Colors book as a guide for the color names in Spanish and French. Our friends at Little Pim are partnering with me for this post and a fun Twitter Chat next week to talk about how if children learn about the world, they will care about the earth. This nature color hunt activity not only celebrates the earth and its colors but it celebrates some of its cultures too by including different languages. You don’t have to travel the world to give them a broad view of the world but I think that exposing them to bite size bits of other cultures through language and books can really help. Earth Day was this week and it always gets me thinking about exploring the world we are trying to conserve.
