Our storytime was all about colors today!\u00a0 For a printable list\u00a0of the songs,\u00a0fingerplays, and flannelboards\u00a0we shared\u00a0(including lyrics\/words),\u00a0 please click here:\u00a0 TODDLER – Colors songs-rhymes for ITT<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with reading Brown Bear, Brown Bear…,we enjoyed a colorful pop-up book titled Colors pop-up Peekaboo!\u00a0 This book appeals to infants and toddlers, primarily for color identification and three-dimensional appeal.\u00a0\u00a0Each page focused on a different color with a special friend hiding behind a peekaboo flap.\u00a0 The elements of guessing and the colorful visuals\u00a0made this the perfect book to establish today’s theme!<\/p>\n

We also\u00a0shared the classic\u00a0story Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh, not by reading the book aloud but by re-enacting the antics of the three white mice who stumble upon\u00a0three cans of paint – one red can, one blue can and one yellow can.\u00a0 What fun they\u00a0 had jumping into the cans of paint!\u00a0 This is a great book for teaching color identification and color mixing and IT was a BIG hit with the toddlers!<\/p>\n

For reinforcement,\u00a0we repeated Brown Bear, Brown Bear… in a flannel story.\u00a0 The children were easily able to identify the animals and their colors after listening to the book being read aloud.\u00a0 They also enjoyed the different textures the flannel pieces brought to these familiar characters.<\/p>\n

And because we\u00a0were on a roll\u00a0– we\u00a0squeezed in a little game right before our video.\u00a0\u00a0We had to find which color house a little mouse was hiding behind!<\/p>\n
