Winter Weds: Finding Winter Colors

IMG_1480

Winter is here.

“ugh”, says Mom

"YEA!”, say the girls

Winter displays a lot of white in our state.  But what other colors are in our yard?

That was our Winter Wednesday challenge this from Barb at Handbook of Nature Study blog.  Here’s the challenge details.

The girls were to label the colors of Winter with color word cards.  Here’s what they found:

We had a great time on our Nature walk this week.   There were so many other colors amidst the Winter white.  I was surprised and I think the girls were too!  They were wanting to put the color labels on things like the green slide and the black trash can.  I had to remind them that we were labeling “the colorful things that God made!”

When you buy the Winter Wednesday challenge from Barb you receive the notebooking pages too!

  2. Oh, how fun! We just went on our Color Walk the other day, but it was hard finding color in Maine in the middle of winter! LOL

  4. These are great. I love the pics and the idea of looking for colors outside, it's easy to get caught up in the rut of winter.
