C is for Colours

Last week we spent the week talking about colours. We started off by reading about Joseph and his coat of many colours. So naturally we made a "coat" with many colours to hang in the window. It's really pretty now to see the sun shine through them!


We also talked about the number 1 and made the number out of colourful buttons.


We painted the letter c with water colours.


And we experimented with mixing colours. We love using the little droppers!


We also did a colour scavenger hunt. Of course I found cars for the colours Mommy asked for!


Then she wanted us to sort these coloured pom-poms into egg cartons. She thought it would be a great activity for us while she cooked dinner.


She was wrong! We enjoyed throwing them everywhere! Though maybe her plan did work since it took the rest of the time she cooked for us to clean up our mess! Ha!


We did another experiment with food colouring in milk. Nothing happened at first.


Then we added some dish soap and those colours really spread out!


It was pretty to watch and made a mess of colours by the end!


We also had to play Candy Land to practice our colours and counting... and taking turns (which is really hard!)


And we spent some time playing in bins of rice with different scoops, measuring cups, and of course, cars. (This reminded us of the grains that Joseph stored up during the famines in Egypt.)


We also turned our names into rainbows, 


And we painted using q-tips!


Although Riley Cates got stuck in her apron... Poor girl!


Those were a few of the highlights from our fun week of school last week!
