Colors of the rainbow

Our preschoolers love playing with color. Lots of colors!

No Crayons: Coloring for Kids

We have painted our pancakes and pretty much anything that is washable in our house.  We have drawn obsessively with crayons, yet, there are some ways we have never interacted with color.  I love discovering new activities for our kids.  Thanks to all of you who linked up to It’s Playtime last week – I checked our stats some of you are getting more than a hundred people coming to check out your posts through our party!  Glad to see that you have enjoyed browsing the entries. Color Activities for kids

More than Coloring and Print:

Have the kids coloring in an outline with dried bits of playdough instead of crayons.  Paint over it with glitter paint to seal it and add pizzaz (via Putti Prapancha).

Experiment coloring for kids by testing absorption with sponges, cotton balls, maybe even Q-tips,  while painting on felt (via Share and Remember)

Have your child Name the colors while they work on fine motor skills by rolling and wrapping paper to createpaper beads (via Preschool Play)

Pour Koolaid onto a page and watch it become paint as icecubes melt – love this food coloring art (via Hands on: We grow)

Use all the Colors in the Rainbow to create an unusual and colorful sensory tub with spaghetti and alphabets (via Imagination Tree)

Learn about fluid density and weights by exploring with some science bottles (via Messy with Miss Jessi)

An original "Quirky Momma" blogger and "Mommy" to six kids under six, when Rachel is not wiping crayon off the walls or wading through laundry, she can be found exploring and creating with her kiddos. She hopes to be someone who acts justly, loves kindness and walks humbly before God (Micah 6:8).

Moms throughout the ages have given a LOT of advice.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom started exercising and drinking 8 glasses of water a day.  I can still picture that blue semi-opaque glass that was perpetually by the sink.

Drink more water!

We are excited to be a part of Mom's Pure Wisdom on Nestle Pure Life Facebook Page.  

Stop by and share some mom wisdom {or see what other moms recommend}.

Go!  I am a mom and I say so :).
