Activity of the Week – Color Walk

The color walk is a wonderful outdoor activity for preschoolers. More than one blog has focused on this activity. The photo from Maybe Montessori emphasizes the use of an egg carton.

Maybe Montessori recommends using paints to color each section of the egg carton. I also saw attractive variations of the activity from Jojoebi and The Artful Parent.

Have you ever gone on a color walk with your preschooler?

    Oh my, I LOVE this idea. Our family loves to go on outdoor adventure hikes and this is such a great way to add a punch of fun to “just another walk” in the woods! I’m soooo excited to put this idea to work 🙂

    Thanks for sharing,
    Jenny

      Thanks for your comment, Jenny! I'm nostalgic about having children young enough to do this!

    We did this earlier in the week as we walked to the park. My daughter has a wooden box from hobby lobby that’s divided into different rectangles and she painted each section a different color. Anyways that’s what she used and she had a blast finding all that “colorful treasure” on our walk. It was hard not to pick flowers from our neighbors yard though. We look forward to doing this activity over and over again as the foliage changes through the seasons or in different locations.
