Colour's in Nature

Last week when we were at the playground, one of the children noticed that you could see things through my water bottle. More children came over to see and they enjoyed looking at their world through a different lens.
This gave us the idea to search for colours in nature and bring coloured lenses to look through, to see how colours change.
We found brown trees and green moss:

We found grey rocks and orange stumps:

We found purple and pink flowers:

We then tried holding up a lens to see what colour these item's would become.



Comment's I heard:
"Wow, it's green now!"
"Everything look's red"
"The sky looks even MORE blue!"
"I wish it was always this colour"
"Now the flower is purple"

Raise your hand if you have a way to describe Saige's shoes. Some children said running shoes or pink shoes or fast shoes. I asked Saige what term she would like to use for her shoes. She said she'd like to call them pink shoes. I asked her if she would mind if we sang about her shoes. She smiled and agreed. I wrote her name on the big piece of paper and drew her shoes. We found two types of pink in the box and most children agreed the light pink was most like the her shoes. She helped pick the c
