Our next rainbow activity is a game inspired by Katherine Marie Photography. Truly great stuff there. I loved her idea for this game but I needed it to work with my preschoolers so I created a printable and used just one foam die {sounds weird} for our version to avoid having to add.What you need: M & M’s of course! I sorted them by color but realized I didn’t really need to, other than taking out the brown ones. Otherwise a big bag of M & M’s has roughly an equal amount of each color in a bag. Didn’t know that! Of course I didn’t count them and I had already eaten some…
Foam dice: I got mine at 50/50 Outlet, a party supply store. Rainbow pattern {download below}.
Brett {8 years} really enjoyed this game. The rest of this group is young so they mostly did color matching and didn’t roll the die. One just sat and ate his M & M’s. Smart kiddo. I tried to go around & encourage matching and counting.
We’ll do this again before the end of the month/our rainbow theme!
Click to download game pattern – I would laminate them or put them in a sheet protector. Once the kids start to eat their candy, things get sticky!
We also did a little more painting outside!
This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVery cute but did you really let them eat all those M&M's?
ReplyDeleteNo they did not eat them all. After we sorted them by color, each child got a small cup with a variety of colors. I only gave them the amount they needed to work with & yes, they could eat them when they were done.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. Thank you for sharing!
