we made rainbow chameleons inspired by Leo Lionni
We just came home from a wonderful family vacation. While we were away I was surprised at how much our daughter missed our projects. Whenever we were back in the hotel room, Mai would want to make a craft. While I did not bring craft supplies, I did bring drawing materials to entertain her. […]
Today was one of those days when I wanted to skip "preschool." I didn't have anything planned and was in a bit of a slump. Little Brother kept bugging me though, "Mom, When are we going to do preschool?!?" I guess I must be doing something right if he loves it so much, huh? Anyway, I pulled A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni off the shelf, just to read it to the kids. It's about how a chameleon is sad he doesn't have his own color like other animals. He decides to hide on a leaf the rest of his life so he'll finally have a set color...but then fall comes and the leaf changes from green to yellow, and then to red before falling off the tree. (Perfect story for this time of year! I would have known that sooner if I'd actually picked up the book!) Then he finds a friend chameleon and they decide to stay together so even if they don't have a set color, at least they'll match each other. I'm ready to be "over" our color unit, so we can move onto other things, and I figured if I read this to the kids, we could take it back to the library. It wasn't until I'd finished reading the book that an idea came for our activity, and it turned out awesome and was so easy! I grabbed some wax paper from the drawer, and traced the chameleon on the cover for each of the kids with a permanent marker. I thought about cutting it out, but then realized the tail and legs would last about 30 seconds if they were cut out, so I just roughly cut around the main shape. Then I handed the chameleons to them and we ran around the house helping the chameleons change color. Little Brother LOVED it, and it now ranks among my favorite preschool activities to date. We had yellow. And green (this dresser is a prime candidate for a re-paint). And orange on our pumpkin jars (and see the fall paintings made it on the mantle eventually) T-shirt scraps colored And "woody" colored as Little Brother called it. Perhaps my personal favorite "road" colored...black and yellow striped. And of course because there's still so much Halloween candy around, we have candy colored. "Outside colored" And he even found his way onto one of our window leaves like in the story. And of course there were many more we didn't take pictures of. Sweet Pea was a little disturbed that hers didn't have a color of his own, so she tried to color him with a marker...but I wasn't going to hand over the permanent markers so she could make it stick. Now this brings me to the real point of this post if you've read this far...if you ever don't feel like doing activities with your kids or you think doing preschool types activities with your kids is too hard...just do it! Even though I didn't have anything planned this turned a blah morning into a great one for me and the kids. They love the activities and don't care if they're last minute or silly. The more you start to do these kinds of activities with your kids, the more the ideas will come, and the better the relationship with your kids will be. There are days when my kids drive me crazy (at moments today even), but it's pay-back in a small way when they beg for "preschool time" because it lets me know that they really appreciate the time and attention they get with it, and I've been amazed at how much they learn. I'm linking to:
Yesterday we read Eric Carle's Papa, Please Get the Moon For Me. In the story there's a little girl who wants to play with the moon, so her dad uses a really long ladder to get it for her. I wanted the kids to illustrate part of the book, so I cut out circles from aluminum foil to use as moons. We also used black and blue glitter construction paper. (I didn't have enough black paper, which is why we used blue, too.) I love how the glitter on the black paper looks like stars in space. The kids glued the foil moon to the top of their paper and used oil pastels to draw the ladder. After that, they could add whatever they wanted, even if it wasn't part of the story. We had some aliens and planets and astronauts. One boy said he wanted his moon to be a crescent, so I cut it for him. I love that!
LD: orange chameleon, DD: pink chameleon, Mom: green chameleon, ED: multicolored chameleon. While on the hunt for Eric Carle craft ideas, I went to visit two of my favorite art websites: Deep Space Sparkle and Art Projects for Kids. Art Projects for kids showed a very cute picture of a chameleon. We read this book by Eric Carle: The Mixed-Up Chameleon. (affiliate link) I had the kids watch the slide show at Eric Carle's Website about how he paints the tissue paper for making his children's books. We followed his instructions making decorative paper. Then I had them trace a chameleon template that I made out of cardboard for them. LD cut his out (I cut out the chameleons for the girls). Ta-Da! Very cute chameleons. They gave them to Daddy when we picked him up at the airport yesterday. This fit in perfectly with our little unit on reptiles. We've moved on from the Rainforest and are on to the desert... but since we live in a desert, we're focussing on reptiles around the world instead.

This activity is designed to go along with the story "A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni. It was made to help students identify colors and learn association of things with the same color. Students can paint the chameleon the color of their choice and write in the answers at the bottom of the sheet.
