Color Preschool Theme
Since St. Patrick’s Day falls this week, I thought it would be a great time to have a rainbow/color theme! Here is what we will be doing.

| Math (2) | Color sort and stack activity – try to do 15 fruit loops on each | Use 15 blocks to build rainbow towers (can work on patterning too) For an extra challenge you could use applesauce pouch lids | Catch a Rainbow color sorting game | Lucky Dog Game | St Pats Roll & Cover |
| Math (4) | Dump the piggy bank and sort coins. Work on identification and then throw in some addition and subtraction. | Color by coin | St. Pats Alphabet Code | Lucky Dog Game | Counting money worksheets |
| Art/Sensory | Sensory bin: green or rainbow rice, gold coins, shamrocks | Making colors* | Rainbow dot marker page | Make shamrocks out of green pipe cleaners | Rainbow tissue paper craft* |
| Science Geography History | In the dark prism experiment | Use the rainbow arch to practice balancing and build different structures | Read about Ireland and find it on a map | Skittles rainbow science | Rainbow melting ice experiment |
Rainbow tissue paper craft – cut an arch shape out of white cardstock. Cut tissue paper squares in various colors and glue them to make a rainbow around the arch. Glue cotton balls or white pom poms to the bottom of each side of the arch to make clouds. If you don’t have the supplies, you could fingerpaint the rainbow and glue on the clouds once dry.
Making colors – Use a color wheel to talk about different colors and how mixing certain colors creates new colors. Then get some paint in primary colors to make secondary colors. Then use the secondary colors you made and mix with a primary color to make a tertiary color.
