Yard Game

Ages: 2 - 5
Need construction paper, tape

This is fun in the fall when the leaves are off the trees and are all different colors.

You can play this game in your yard or at a local park.

Tell your child to collect different things that are found outside.

Some ideas are leaves, twigs, small stones, straw, flowers and whatever else she can find outside.

Let her tell you what she's gathering up. If she's not sure, explain to her what they are.

When you get home, set her items on the floor. Let her tape them to the construction paper to make her own nature art.

You can get a marker or pen and write underneath all the names of her objects.

Have him say them and then you can write them down. Have him describe what color each of his objects is.

After all the words have been written down, give him crayons to color the empty spaces on his paper.

Tell him to match the crayon colors to the objects on the paper and to name each crayon as he uses it.

If grass is one of the objects on his paper, let him choose the green crayon that is the closest to the grass color.

Let her pick out a brown crayon to match the little twig she has on her paper. Or a gray crayon that matches the pebbles she found in the yard.
