March was not only about the color green, but we also studied the rainbow! We talked about how a rainbow is made and which colors make up the rainbow. Below you can see all of the rainbow color sorting we did! Sorting by color is a skill we incorporate a lot with our toddler learners. It practices color recognition and matching.

Some of the toys in our centers and sensory bins were also rainbow-themed. We love to see them learning through play!

Of course we had to do some rainbow art projects. We read the book “What Makes a Rainbow” by Betty Schwartz and then made our own rainbow using ribbon and a fluffy cloud. This was a challenging art project for our little learners and they did an excellent job with it!

Some other rainbow art projects:

We had such a fun couple of months, with Spring activities such as, gardening, and learning about bugs and insects that live in the garden! Below you can see some of the April and May activities we did.

Matching colors:
Finding the bunny tail to match the color of the bunny!

Matching the jelly bean to the color on the oval!

Counting Flowers:
For this game, our friends rolled a die, and the number they got, that’s how many flowers they “planted” in their pots!

Name building: Writing their names with flowers!

Purple Party!:
Learning about the color purple, we found a bunch of purple items around our classroom, and then had a PURPLE snack–grape jelly fold-overs!

They got to spread the jelly on their bread 🙂

This school year has FLOWN by, and we have had so much fun watching our toddlers grow, learn, and play. Thank you for sharing the joy of your children with us! Happy Summer!!!

Although the weather here hasn’t been very “winter-like”, we are still learning about all of the things we do during the winter. We have talked about bundling up to go out in the snow, building a snowman, going sledding, having snowball fights, and having yummy hot chocolate to warm us up from the winter chill.

We practiced matching patterns and colors using different kinds of mittens to match!
