One-week printable pack · ages 3–5

Colors & Art Week

Five days of color names, colors in everyday things, longer and shorter crayons, mixing blue and yellow to make green, and an art show. Children count paper crayons, match six colors to things that are often that color, compare longer, shorter, bigger, and more, put picture cards of paint mixing in order, try layering crayons, sort art tools into "draw with it" and "cut or stick with it," and listen for /g/ and /y/.

Safety and inclusion

No paint used: paint appears only in pictures and the story. Children try layering yellow and blue crayons on a paper strip and compare it with a green crayon, saying what they see. No glitter or loose craft items. Notes cover children who see colors differently and offering crayons in many skin tones.

Full notes are on page 5 of the pack.
