Brownity Brown

Wednesday we celebrated the color brown! Did you know that to get brown you mix equal proportions of red, yellow, and blue? We learned about that! Our kids are celebrities when it comes to mixing colors! The kids colored and cut out a book about brown things they colored. We really missed Will on Wednesday.

Our book was the silly read entitled "More Spaghetti, I Say!" The kids loved the idea of making mountains out of spaghetti and eating different sauces like mustard with spaghetti.

We played Monkey See, Monkey Do where the kids imitate each other doing silly actions. Our favorite part of circle time was singing the Itsy Bitsy Monkey:

The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree
(Pretend to be climbing up a tree)
Down came a coconut & hit him on his knee-OWWW
(Make a fist & hit knee)
Out came a lion a shakin his mighty mane---ANNND---
(Frame face with hands to look like a lion & shake head)
The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree.

We ventured outside on a Brown hunt singing:

We're going on a brown hunt, we're going on a brown hunt
What do I see, what do I see?
I see a brown (branch), I see a brown (branch)
That's what I see, that's what I see

Poor Zane almost perished a few steps into our walk from extreme hunger. We made it in time to rescue him with 4 servings of brownies with banana frosting. The kids taped some of the brown treasures to paper.
