The 2nd color theme we did is the Color Red! My favorite color and my little guy seems to like it to. Check out all the fun red crafts & activities we did & all the red foods we ate! We actually did this back in February before all this moving madness happened 🙂
What’s the color red theme without a Clifford Book?! I read the book to my son first and then he read it back to me in his own little version…. so cute! Of course my son had to match it to the Clifford cartoon which we also watched that day. He also wore a red Nike jersey (great find at a resale shop!).
On to the Red Foods:
For a snack he had an apple and juice in a red cup. He also had red heart candies (we did this around Valentine’s Day) and I am not sure what happened to that photo either…. guess that’s what happens when your laptop crashes. Since, I have learned to back up everything!
I saw this fabulous idea for making a strawberry craft over at A Mommy’s Adventure. Here is our version of it:
I cut pieces of red and green from a magazine and my son stuck them to contact paper.
I made it a mini I Spy game by cutting red objects from the magazine for him to stick on as well. Some examples of the red things I found are: Elmo, strawberries, raspberries, heart, tomatoes, bull, cherries, and so on.
I helped him with the green because he grew tired of it and then cut them into the shape of a strawberry.
I also incorporated American Sign Language & Spanish words into our activities.
Wow! Such great activities!
Very fun idea! Mateo is about to start learning colors. I think I'll bookmark these and try to do an entire red day.
What a great idea and perfect for helping them learn their colors! Thanks for linking up to toddler tuesday!<br /><br />-Sarah<br />www.minnesotamamasmusthaves.com
Oh my goodness that strawberry is so cute. I love all your red activities and great variety. You are right now red unit would be complete without Clifford and I agree kid's versions of stories are too cute.
I want to do the colour red next week with M, some great ideas you have listed! I also do SA sign language with her and she loves it. Amazing how fast they pick up on certain signs.
Love all those red projects. Super fun.
