Rainbow Work

Jem enjoyed making a book of colors and a rainbow mosaic this week.  We sang some songs about colors and enjoyed talking about what makes a rainbow.

The cute color book came from Thoughts Of Me, print a copy of today.

The Edible Rainbow

 

I have been placing a colorful food tray out before meals and for snack time. The girls like to help me find healthy munchies that make-up the colors of the rainbow. 

Rainbow Food Ideas:

Red: cherry tomatoes, cherries, cranberries, apples, berries

Orange: bell peppers, orange, melon, cheese, crackers, carrots

Yellow, bananas, peppers, pineapple, cheese, crackers, apples

Green: celery, kiwi, grapes, avocado, broccoli, peas, apples, melon

Blue: berries, grapes

Purple, grapes, dried plums

Sensory Tub With Colored Rice

Jem really enjoys her special sensory tubs. I added the rainbow rice and orzo we colored a few weeks ago, scooping spoons, egg holder, pom-poms, beads, tubes, pipe cleaners, big tweezers, and shells. I really have a good time putting these together, but the real master at this is Mari-Ann over at Counting Coconuts. They are really beautiful creations.

This magnifying glass was a big hit with Jem. She loved seeing all the colors pop out of her sensory tub.
