Rainbows

We had a week long of fun with rainbows.  Here is a glimpse of some of things that we did:

Cutting practice - these are the calendar printables from Christian Preschool Printables, you can download them for free HERE.

I had practice snipping around the edges first.  Then had him

cut out the rainbow or some other picture within the picture.

Math Activity - you can download this for free HERE.

First, I pulled out the ruler and showed how to measure (we used

the millimeters side).  We measured each animal and

compared the height to each of these animals, then we

discovered that 2 animals were the same height,

so I had him color those.

Letter R Worksheets from 1+1+1=1, download for free HERE.

He loves these "dead end" worksheets and looks forward

to them every week.  I ended up printing an extra set

from A to Z and put them into sheet protectors and

inside of a notebook for practice on the go.

Capital R Art

I cut out strips of construction paper for the rainbow colors.

Drew an "R" on another construction paper.

He put the glue on, then glued the strips on.

I cut out the R, he glued it on another piece of construction paper.

Looks pretty good! :)

A free project, it's one of those paint with water books.

Only he LOVED this so much because it was Hot Wheels! LOL

Have Fun and Be a Blessing!

Rainbow Roads

Well, there is not "follow the yellow brick road", but more like "follow the rainbow road".  I had some left over paper strips from our "R" letter craft (will post pictures soon), so Little Man laid them out on the floor as a "road".  Then he drove his hot wheel cars over them... since they weren't secured to the floor, they moved around and he thought that was funny... he said "look the wind from the car moves the road". hahahaha

He made a "crossroads".

Our rainbow study has been REALLY fun!

More to post on our Rainbow Adventures soon.

Have fun and be a blessing!

Rainbow Size Sorting File Folder Game

I love file folder games - they are easy to store, easy to take places and best of all my son can pretty much do them by himself after I show him what to do a couple times.  What a time saver these things are - it's like a portable busy "bag". :)

This activity I made to go with our Rainbow Lesson.  I found clipart from Microsoft Online and copied into MS Word program to make different sizes - small, medium and large.  Then I cut out 3 different circle sizes from yellow construction paper and labeled those "small", "medium" and "large".  I glued the suns to the file folder and glued an envelope that was large enough to hold ALL the rainbow sizes.

To play the game, have your little match up the small rainbows to the small sun and so on.

Took me about 10 minutes total to create this file folder game and it's now a new favorite! :)

Have fun and be a blessing!

Rainbow of Promise

This week our theme is Rainbows.  We will be reading Noah's Ark and different rainbow theme books.  To learn the colors of the rainbow, we watched the Cat in the Hat episode on rainbows to learn the rainbow color song - it's really cute.  Here is our poster board for this week:

This is a math activity, I made the arks by drawing them

on construction paper and putting the even numbers on them.

The animals I printed from HERE, I had him match the boy and girl

animals together then place the correct number of animals on the ark.

This sorting activity, I found clipart off of Microsoft Online

and looked for animals that were facing left and right.

I created columns in MS Word and labeled them left and right.

My son sorted the animals by the direction they were facing.

Sidewalk Chalk Art

I helped him make the rainbow, and he colored it in.

Then we wrote "God's Promise" on it.

This was daddy's surprise when he came home.

I put a rainbow coloring page underneath a white sheet of paper

and had my little guy trace the rainbow.  He decided to use

the colors of the rainbow to make it and colored in the clouds.

Have more to come...

I have a rainbow size sorting activity.

Rainbow tic tac toe game.

Rainbow science activities.

And some rainbow crafts still to complete.

I'll also take pictures of our Noah's Ark story boards

from Oriental Trading (I'm very impressed with it!).

Have fun and Be a Blessing!
