What we read:
Not Quite Black And White by Jonathan Ying
- The kids really liked this one. It was just silly enough with a lot of fun animals.
Monsters Love Colors by Mike Austin
- I love this book and read it probably more than I should. But it’s fun and filled with monsters and colors!
- I have been waiting to read Carrot and Pea since we got it in, and thought why not use it for a colors theme since the basis of the book is two contrasting colors.

Themed song:
Color song. This is a song I use a lot. I use this if folks come in early, we’re waiting to start, and little ones and have a lot of wiggles. Kids love to show you what they’re wearing!
Red, red is the color I see
If you’re wearing red, then show it to me!
Stand up, take a bow, turn around
Then sit back down on the ground!
Repeat with other colors
Flannel Board:
Mary Had a Little Lamb
You sing Marry had a little lamb with fleece as ___ as ___.
Switch out the colors and then you name something with that color with the help of the kids. As green as a lizard! As pink as cotton candy! As blue as the sky! It’s really fun! As always, you count the sheep and name the colors when you start!
