- Mouse Paint Toast
Read the book again while doing this activity so they can mix the
right colors.
Directions:
For each color, take 1 tablespoon milk (rice/soy/cow's) and 1/4 to
1/2 teaspoon sugar and mix it. This makes quite a few pieces
of toast.
If you want to make lots of colors to practice making colors or if
if you have more children or students, you will need to make more.
Place some of the milk mixture in small bowls or cups.
Repeat this 3 times.
Add red, yellow, and blue food coloring in separate jars, glasses,
small margarine containers, or other containers.
It takes 1 drop to make each color. (Pretend this is Mouse Paint.)
Take a piece of white bread (Pretend it is a piece of white
paper.)
Paint the bread with some of the milk using a pastry brush or
small paint brush.
Mix some of the red with some of the yellow and see what color it
makes (orange).
Mix some of the yellow with the blue and see what color it makes
(green).
Mix some of the blue with some of the red and see what color it
makes (purple).
Put the bread in the oven or a toaster oven.
Take it out when it is lightly brown.
Note: Make sure you tell your children the difference between food coloring and paint you use to paint a picture and why they can eat food coloring and not paint.
- Make Marbelized Eggs using different colors of food coloring.
- Make sugar cookies or dairy-free sugar cookies and have them mix different food colorings for the frosting.
- Make geletin or geletin jigglers.

Musical Shapes Game
Age Level: Toddlers through Early Elementary Grades
Materials needed: Different colored circles cut from
colored paper or fabric; sing a song, recorded music or
instruments (tape or CD)
Tape or place the circles on the floor in a large circle.
Have the children walk around the outside of the large circle as
music is played. When the music stops, each child names the
color of the circle he or she is standing by. Continue as
long as the children are interested. For variation, use
different shapes and colors and have the children name the color
and the shape.

Color Hand Game
Use two pieces 8 1/2 x11 inch white computer paper or 9x12
inch construction paper and trace your left hand (or right hand if
your left handed) to the wrist. Cut it out. Turn it so
the thumb faces the left. Color each finger a little above
the cut part of the hand a different color (for example; blue,
red, pink, black, yellow, white, purple, gray, green, brown,
orange, etc.). Label each color above the cut part of the
finger. Laminate or place clear contact paper on it.
Cut it out (no need to cut each finger out except the
thumbs). With a straight pen or needle, make a small hole
about the middle about where the thumb is on the hand
patterns. Use a brad to reinforce it (make sure it not that
tight so it will spin) and place a small paper clip under the
brad. Staple the hands together by the brad and on the
upside down hand. Use masking tape or heavier tape and tape
it on a small piece of poster board. Have the children play
the game to help reinforce color skills. Have the children
say the color each time a different color is spinned. Repeat
the game.
Color Game
In a container or box, have different colors pom-poms or pieces of
paper in it. Have the child say the color he/she
choose. Have them spell the word (or you can if they don't
know how to read yet). You can learn the colors in another
language and have the child say the colors in Spanish
or any other language. Have them spell the word in the other
language or you can.
