1. Literature based learning
A few weeks before we went on a vacation, Vito was enjoying the book Put Me in the Zoo. He learned a few words from this book and the best part is he started loving colors! And because of this, I set up a few color recognition activities to go with the book, while he’s still at it 
First, we created spots! We used dotted stickers and Do-a-dot markers. At the start of the activity, Vito had a difficulty working with stickers. He struggled removing them on its paper sheet thus he couldn’t work on it independently.
We love our Do-a-dot Markers and we are using it in so many ways. I have these markers since 2011!
Still with stickers and markers, we worked on color matching. Here, Vito is practicing how to match the stickers with the colors created by the markers.
2. Color Mixing
This is Vito’s first science experiment I poured some blue and yellow paints on a ziploc, placed it on the wall for him to mix and see the effect. And yes we do get a green color!
We enjoyed mixing the paints and inserted some shape lessons as well
3. Color Sorting
This was just a random activity, I have a few popsicle sticks and used it for color sorting. It was more of a presentation on my side (showing Vito how to sort) rather than Vito working.
We worked a few more stickers and I was surprised that he learned how to do it on his own. He’s able to remove the stickers from its sheet and can successfully stick them on a paper.
This is the end product of Vito’s work.
4. Finger painting
And lastly, another color mixing activity using some cotton buds. As we do this, I would mention that blue and red makes purple, or red and yellow makes orange.
And of course, eventually he wanted to use his fingers! I love love using our Giotto fingerpaints, they’re derma-safe (my kids have skin asthma and allergies!), no strong scents and most of all so creamy that Vito loves touching them.
