Green
Reading "I Don't Want To Be A Frog" and using green napkins
Month 6 · Activity 8 · Colors
Instructions
- Read the book "I Don't Want To Be A Frog" by Dev Petty or Read/Listen here
- After reading the book, go to each page and look for something green.
- Discuss if the little frog didn't want to be a frog because he was green or for another reason
- Learning a color takes repetition.

Chat about the color of the napkins at every meal - use different shades of green napkins if available
Simplify
When reading the book, let child put on a green shirt or hold a green item in their hand.
