Fun with Colors!

I picked up a new box of crayons for Creston the other day...(Mackie likes to EAT any Crayons that he finds laying around!). We were to the place in his pre-school book to start coloring, so I figured that we'd doit with fresh crayons that Mackie WON'T be allowed to handle!!

I pulled out the Red, Yellow, Purple, Pink, White, Black, Brown, Green, Blue, & Orange colors and laid them in a pile. I would ask Creston to hand me a certain color....he did almost perfect except for getting white and black confused!! I was really tickeled about that!!!

His book would ask him to pick out the color, and then it would tell him what to color on his page. Below...he's coloring a pair of pants blue. Then he would look at two pictures (Pineapple and blueberries) and he would have to color the appropriate item blue. Other than the Pineapple being called a "Pum-pum-pum", he figured out that the blueberries should be blue.

Mackie finally wore me down and I pulled out a coloring book for him and his "bucket" of broken and half-eaten colors for him to color alongside Creston!

He likes to be a big boy too!

They had fun, but their attention spans are still really short, so we only worked on this for about 20 minutes or so. Now they are playing "store" in their bedroom......at the moment, they aren't killing each other....so it's nice and quiet at the moment! (Shouldn't have said that!!)
