We’re learning color words with a heart theme! Here are several activities that will encourage your child to learn how to spell color words, even in a new language. A fun activity for Valentine’s Day or anything time of year. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Color<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

During the week we worked on our Paper Bag Book About Colors<\/a> which inspired several Heart Activities for Valentine’s Day. There are many activities that incorporate color which made it easy to sort the colors onto each page of the color book. Hope our activities can inspire you for your own Heart Fun with your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the remaining pieces from the paper bag book, we created and labeled sorting containers for our colors. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Making<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As she was sorting we would do half with English and Half with Hindi and if she couldn’t remember she would use her Paper Bag Book to look it up.  We also practiced writing the Color word into the book as we did each activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Making<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\nShe traced color words and hearts\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Making<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Then she matched the traced words to the color words\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Learning<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Then we matched up the hearts to the color words\n<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Dot<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

After tracing, matching and sorting it was\u00a0time to start Dot Painting Hearts using each color. As my daughter stamped she sung a little tune of the color she was using. The more learning methods you can use while learning to make a bigger impression on the brain. Dot Painting provided my daughter with bodily-kinesthetic, language, and musical learning opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Howard Gardner refers to multiple intelligences as tools to use in teaching and learning. For more information on Learning Modalities<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
