This color game was definitely one of Smiley Man’s favorites. He didn’t have to guess the right color, or sort, or anything. We just explored colors and had fun with them. Luckily, this is still a great way for teaching your toddler colors.

Color Games for Toddlers Part 9 — Color Scavenger Hunt
This color game is about as easy as it gets. Get a bag (a grocery bag, brown paper bag, or a gift bag will all work fine) and write a color on the front with a colored marker.

Valentine Themed Tot School Trays
Smiley Man is loving these tot trays so much! He really likes that he does his own school work. I really like that he is engaged while Little Bear is doing his preschool stuff.

I have been working on colors with Smiley Man for about a month and a half now and he is slowly starting to make some connections when it comes to color.

Car Themed Tot School Trays
I set these trays out last week so Smiley Man has actually done them for a few days. He really likes having his own “work” to do, but he still likes to occasionally wreak havoc with Little Bear’s work. I’m thinking that may never change. ;) Here are all of the activities that are on… Continue reading Car Themed Tot School Trays
