YELLOW

YELLOW PRINTING
Cut lemons, yellow squash, and yellow bell peppers in half. Place folded paper towels in shallow containers and pour on small amounts of yellow tempera paint. Invite your children to press the cut sides of the fruit and veggies onto the paint-covered towels, then stamp them on white paper to make prints.
 

YELLOW SUN CATCHERS Have your children tear yellow tissue paper into small pieces and arrange them on squares of clear Contact paper placed sticky-side up. Encourage the children to overlap the tissue pieces as they work. Cover each child's creation with a second square of Contact paper and punch a hole near one edge. Then tie loops of yellow yarn through the holes in the squares and hang the sun catchers in a window.

 
 YELLOW FRUIT AND VEGGIE FUN

In a large basket, place two each of various yellow fruits and veggies, such as lemons, bananas, apples, summer squash, bell peppers, and ears of corn. Let your children use the items for these games. Find the matching pairs of fruits and veggies. Put the pairs on separate plates. Select two matching fruits or veggies and hold one in each hand. Which is heavier? Which is lighter? Weigh the items to check responses. Set out a shopping bag. Count the fruits and veggies while putting them into the bag and taking them out.

 

YELLOW BOOKS Make a blank book for each of your children by fastening several pieces of yellow or white paper together. Print "My Yellow Book" and the child's name on the cover. Let your children cut or tear yellow pictures out of magazines or catalogs and glue them onto their book pages. Also provide them with other yellow materials, such as tissue paper scraps, yarn, ribbon, or stickers, to add to their books, if you wish.
