I decided to have the kids help me make colored ice cubes this morning, and then later on this afternoon we can use them to make water color pictures and in a color lesson. I plan on having them put 2 different colored ice cubes (such as blue and yellow) together in a cup and see what happens when they melt. It's like 90* here today so I think we'll do this outside and they will melt rather quickly.
Earlier we played a little shape finding game where I pointed out something in our house that was a certain shape, and had the kids find something else with that same shape. For example the door frame is a rectangle and then Ryan pointed out that his paper was also a rectangle. Then for lunch I made grilled cheese and apples. I cut one grilled cheese sandwich into squares, and the other into triangles and had the boys tell me about the shapes. I cut up a red apple and a green apple and had them tell me the colors of each apple.
These were just some quick and easy shape and color ideas and my kids really enjoyed them more than I thought they would, especially my little one. He got a big kick out of his shape and color lunch!
