Extension Activities:
- Go on a color scavenger hunt.  Have each child pick a different color.  Then have them count the things they find that are their chosen color.
- Make colored ice cubes by adding a drop of food color to water before freezing.  (Optional - Stick a popsicle stick in each cube before freezing for easy holding.)  Then use the ice cubes to "paint" on either paper or outdoor sidewalk.
