Learning Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers
How can you turn this fun rainbow craft into a learning activity?
Talk about the colors, the shapes and what colors mix together to create new colors.
Ask questions like, “What colors do you see?” or “This is the color red!”
Instead of a rainbow craft, you can try a green leaf clover or a golden coin!
Count them for a more advanced approach and create patterns!
See how many golden coins your preschooler can make by using number flashcards 1-10 and playing while learning!
