Stargrower Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There's a really lovely book called My Many Coloured Days by Dr Seuss. We've used it many times and created some lovely displays to go with it. It links colours to feelings and emotions. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 we've done a bit of work with 'mouse paint' this term nice simple book that we did some bits on. We also do the colour game often when we send the children to get their coats...so "if you are wearing something red go and get your coat" etc you can also do a field game like this where you line everyone up and say "take one step forward if you are wearing something red," take it in turns with the instructions until someone gets to the caller first to be the winner! Pattern cutting we do quite often so straight line wavy line and zig zag line...great for cutting skills. ..i am assuming here that you are not talking about repeat patterns? (eg red green blue red green blue etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
