A Colorful Summer

So to help Sydnee learn her colors, I am borrowing an idea from a friend, Rachel. For Spring Break this year they did a color a day & did all sorts of fun things with that color. So we are planning to do something similar, but spread it out over the entire week. Here is our schedule:

Monday: Family Home Evening (introducing the color)

Tuesday: Wear the Color

Wednesday: Make Something crafty with the color

Thursday: Special Meal

Friday: Play a game/watch a movie

Saturday: Go do something

Sunday: Read a book about the color

We let the girls choose the colors, so here is the order (subject to change)

June 15-21: Pink Week

June 22-28: White Week

June 29-July 5: Blue Week

July 6-12: Green Week

July 13-19th: Yellow Week

July 20-26th: Black Week

July 27-Aug 2: Brown Week

August 3-9th: Red Week

August 10-16th: Purple Week

August 17th-23rd: Orange Week

August 24th-30th: Rainbow

If you have any ideas that might aide this summer adventure- please share...and wish us luck!

what a GREAT idea! I've thought about doing it within a day... but that is way too much for Ava (she still has some problems with her colors - though as soon as I stopped really trying to help her remember them - she got better. Go figure.).

Anyway, I'll have to remember this for Nolan.

I might have to try this. We do all green food for St. Patrick's Day, but this might make the summer a bit interesting! :)
