kids. first i put the felt paintbrushes on the board in rainbow order and go over it with the kids.
then the kids tell me which color is missing. we do it a few times like this but if you want to really challenge them, you can put the paintbrushes in random order instead of rainbow order. then remove one brush and ask them to tell you which one is missing.
this is actually a twist on a camp song called “we’re making some purple soup” (i used to be a camp counselor) and i just changed the words to fit my theme.
with purple potatoes and purple tomatoes….
mix in whatever they come
