Y is for Yellow
- Read “In My New Yellow Shirt” by Eileen Spinelli
- A little boy receives a new yellow shirt for his birthday and imagines all of the different things he can be wearing his yellow shirt … a lion, a daffodil, a firefly.
- As you read the title, point to each of the words.
- Can your preschooler point out the word “Yellow”
- Point out all of the yellow things you see as you read the story!
- Yellow Shirt Cut & Paste
- Cut out a simple shirt shape from yellow cardstock.
- Look through magazines to find yellow things.
- Let the kids practice cutting out any yellow things they like and glue them to their yellow shirt.
- Twinkle, Twinkle Yellow Star … my kids loved this. We played it over and over again. I love these washable paints.
- Paint a wooden star cut out with yellow paint and let dry. Or simply cut out a star from yellow cardstock. I just traced a star cookie cutter on cardboard and cut it out.
- TIP: Paint your star before reading the story and doing the yellow shirt activity so it will be dry!
- Write your preschooler’s name on their star.
- Hide the stars somewhere in the room.
- Sing the following song to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”
- Have the kids search for the star with their name on it!
- Yellow Snack
- Fill dessert cups with vanilla pudding.
- Add sliced bananas and a little dollop of whipped cream!
- Yellow Storytime
- Have your preschooler look through the bookshelf and pull out all of the yellow books.
- It’s great color practice and makes storytime a little more fun
