Miss Bell and I have been having a great week exploring everything Orange in October. I must admit tot school is just as much fun for me. I'm enjoying the whole process, from planning, setting up, and then watching her explore. It is so wonderful to watch her little mind and hands at work.
Here is a peek into our Orange week.
I love color treasure baskets. For this one you will find lot's of orange goodies, for example color puzzle cards, Duck and Goose find a pumpkin,plan toys Orange juice bottle, wood blocks, and of course pumpkins.
Placing the peg into the hole is great for developing her fine motor skills.
Orange water with orange glitter for sensory.
We worked on cleaning pumpkins with a sponge.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia, working with light and mirrors.
She truly enjoyed the book If Kisses were Colors.
I would have to say her favorite things this week were definitely the fish activity and her books. She continued to go back to them all week.
You can also check out our orange scented play dough, it would be a great addition to this orange learning week.
You can find other toddler ideas on my Pinterest Board.
Thanks for letting me share our orange week with you.
You are one lucky mommy!
