Color Matching

COLORS! On one of our walks,this past week, I decided to stop in at Home Depot and pick up some paint chips for this fun color matching game I found on Pinterest. It took about 45 minutes to make, but there was some drying time involved, too. When I was finished, we had a lovely rainbow of colors to match!

Max checking out the colors...he was intregued.

A little orange lady bug found his way into our house, so we decided to match him up. Max was a little apprehensive, but did let her crawl on his hand for a few seconds.

The clothespins were a little tricky for him at first, but he got the hang of it.

Deciding which color to match next...

His dinosaur got matched up, too!

We had a great time matching the clothespins to other things around the room too, which really brought the game to life.

I wasn't sure how far we'd get, before he'd lose interest, but when he was tired of matching them up, he handed the rest of them to me so I could finish. We had a great time and this is sure to be one of our favorite activities!
