Today in our preschool class we learned all about the color blue. We make color books with a different page for each color that the students can decorate, so today we decorated our blue page with a simple and fun activity that you could totally do at home!

You will need:

• Paper

• Blue paint

• Optional: Cloud print out

• Blue and Other Colors or another book about the color blue

Instructions:

1. Read the book Blue and Other Colors together. Talk about all of the things that you can see around you that are blue.

2. Explain that you are going to make a blue picture today!

3. Glue to cloud printout to the top of your paper. You could also just have your child draw a blue cloud.

4. Using blue paint, finger paint the raindrops coming from the cloud.

5. Hang your blue picture somewhere you can see it, or use it to create a color book like we do in our preschool classrooms!
