Teaching Colors – White

Our little preschool class learns about the color white in the month of February!

It’s a great month with all the pink and red and white things floating around for Valentine’s Day and also the chilly, snowy weather lends itself to this color as well.

Here are some fun ways we like to celebrate white!

Here is a cute song about the color white sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” –

W-H-I-T-E spells the color white for me.

Like the big clouds in the sky.

Or the whipped cream on my pie.

W-H-I-T-E spells the color white for me!

I hope your class has fun learning about the color white!

Joyfully,

Julie 🙂
