Green Wrap-up

Well, we have finished our second Color Week.  Here's how we started it, with our color basket.  We played with colored rice, with colored water, and with stickers (see our sensory activities here).  We read several books.  We wore green shirts and talked about green things in nature.

Also this week, we watched a couple of green-themed videos on YouTube.  (They're my secret weapon for getting her hair done.)

First, Tee-Hee Town's Green song.  She wasn't sure about this one at first, but as the week passed, she came to like it more and more.

Naturally, one can't talk about green without thinking about Kermit the Frog!

And we found a funny parody of "It's Not Easy Being Green" sung by Oscar the Grouch.  It was awesome:

Do you have any other GREEN videos we should check out?  Can you think of any other amazing ways to celebrate GREEN?

Yellow Wrap-up

We have enjoyed our first Color Week. In case you missed a post, here's how it started. We played with colored rice, in the pool, with lemon cloud dough, and with stickers (see our sensory activities here). We read several books. We ate bananas, wore yellow clothes, and looked for yellow cars.

Also this week, we watched a few yellow-themed videos on YouTube.  I like to put them on while I fix her hair because she stands relatively still and will look in the direction of the screen if I need her to face this way or that way. We watched "Color Y-E-L-L-O-W yellow song", recommended by Play-Create-Explore.  It wasn't long before we were singing along.

Being big Sesame Street and Muppet fans, we watched "Yellow Submarine," which she thought was fun.

Finally, her favorite yellow video was "Color Songs for Kids - Yellow Color"  (I get a little bugged by the fact that the puppet starts out with a character voice but doesn't sing with one, but that's just me.  Other than that, it's fine.)  It has a great beat and my toddler loves to dance to it.

Do you have any other YELLOW videos that we should check out? Can you think of any other amazing ways to celebrate YELLOW?
