Learning colours comes naturally for most people, but who wouldn't love their very own personalised Book of Colours. This was a 2 hour project in total from gathering the supplies, putting it together, and laminating the project.
I basically followed the tutorial on this page http://www.teacherbytrademotherbynature.com/2015/08/diy-homemade-colour-book_7.html and here https://craftulate.com/2013/03/homemade-colour-book.html, but made a few small changes to suit J. Supplies: Paint swatches (two of each colour) from Mitre 10 (FREE) A meaningful photo to your child in each colour you include in the book. A range of stickers ( we had these at home) Book Binding Rings (x2) Hole punch Glue Laminator/laminating sheets (optional) - I took the pages to the Warehouse Stationary and they laminated, cut and whole punched for $8. I collected one large Resene paint swatch in each of the colours I wanted (pictured below): Red/Pink Orange Yellow Green Blue (not pictured) Purple Grey/Black Brown (I may add white later) 1. Cut the cards in half and glue them together so that they form a book with the matching colours facing each other. 2. Add stickers and a photo to each colour and write in the colour name. 3. Laminate. 4. Punch and ring. Ta-da! A personalised book of colours. I think they key element for J is that she sees all the things that are important to her in the pictures and connects her prior knowledge to the colours she is learning.
