Colors and Bugs


This was a fun preschool day at our house a month or two ago. Being the former art teacher that I am we had to do an art lesson of some sorts:) The kids colored their own color wheels (which I am proud to say I designed). They turned out to be flowers showing how the colors in the color wheel mix together. We then went on a hunt for bugs that matched the color of on their flower petals. The bugs were glued on little clothes pins so they could clip them on the right petal.
We talked about prisms, showed them how sunlight makes rainbows. They learned how to mix colors, and of course we talked about bugs. Part of the snack was going into a dark room and digging out gummy bugs out of a container filled with crushed chocolate graham crackers. The tweezers they used made the bugs light up and glow which they thought was pretty fun! Emerie loves it when preschool is at our house and does everything the big kids do (coloring on her face was her own idea). She still likes to decorate more than just the paper:)
