Learning Colours - BLUE! | Learning 4 Kids
By Janice Davis / June 10, 2012 February 21, 2021
Come play and learn with the colour BLUE, we have lots of activities!
As part of our Learning Colours Series here on learning4kids, this week we have been exploring and playing with the colour blue with bubbles, bottle tops, paint, rice and balloons!
If you have only just joined our Learning Colours Series here on learning4kids and would like to find out more,

BLUE SENSORY TUB
Having some fun in a sensory tub filled with blue rice and blue pompoms! Miss 22months loves sensory tubs and loves to run her fingers through the rice and pompoms and sprinkling them like it is rain, so we sang “rain is falling down” song.
I also added a few little props to our sensory tub, basically anything I could find blue such as blue plastic spoons, bottle tops and a blue silicon teddy bear cake mould. Miss 22months would use to spoons to scoop up the rice and pompoms and fill the bottle tops and teddy bear mould.
Too colour the rice: I poured a 500g bag of rice into a container and added a few drops of blue food colouring. I mixed the colouring through with a metal spoon, adding any extra colouring as needed and then sat the container in the sun to dry out a little before playing.
BLUE BATH GAME
Bringing the fun of learning the colour blue into the bath with a fun catching game!! I scattered the bath water with blue bottle tops and a small amount of bubbles and food colouring. You do not need a lot of food colour, I basically just ran the lid from the food colouring bottle under the running tap and this seems to be enough to give the water a pale colour of blue.
The game involves catching and scooping up as many blue bottle tops as you can with a small net.
We called the bottle tops Blue Bottle Fish and sang “Under the Sea, where the Blue Bottle Fish swim” which added to the fun of the game.
PAINTING BLUE FISH WITH STAMPS
Making something crafty – A Blue Fish using bottle tops as stamps to create and imitate the scales of a fish.
I placed a kitchen sponge onto a clean meat tray and poured some blue paint onto it until it was well soaked in. Then Miss 22 months happily got stamping away with the bottle tops by pressing the open side of the bottle top (flat side up) into the paint soaked sponge and then onto the fish creating a circle shape.
I plan to cut these fish out and glue them onto blue paper and add them to our Crafty Colour Collage that we have been making. For each colour we explore we will be adding something Miss 22 months has made to the collage. So far we have a Red Lady Bug and the Blue Fish

BALLOON GAMES
Nothing says fun more than balloons! We had so much fun playing with our ‘BLUE’ balloons and creating our very own games as we went along.
We blew up about 12 light blue and dark blue balloons for these games.
BALLOON FLIP
Balloon Flip is a game where you lay a single sheet on the ground and pile the balloons on top. Then each person playing takes a corner in anticipation to ‘flip’ the sheet up into the air. We counted 1 blue balloon, 2 blue balloons, 3 blue balloons and ‘flip’, throwing all the balloons into the air. My girls were giggling hysterically as they tried to roll and lay under the sheet and flying balloons as they landed around them. Such a fun game!
BOX OF BALLOONS
Box of Balloons involves covering your child over with all the balloons as they lay very still inside a box. It is so funny to watch them as they anticipate for you to say ‘pop’ so they can wriggle and wriggle until all the balloons have jumped out of the box.
SORTING BLUE BLOCKS
Empty a box of coloured blocks all over the floor and together separate all the blue ones. When a different colour it picked up, say “this is a green block, let’s find more blue ones.
” Hold up a BLUE one to show and encourage. We laid out our coloured mats which was perfect to help Miss 22months sort the blocks into groups.
OTHER BLUE ACTIVITY IDEAS TO TRY:
- Wear BLUE for a day: Dress your child (and yourself) wearing the colour blue for the day. I have a blue scarf that I wore all day and referred to it during the day when comparing it to something else that was blue.
- Blue sky: Lie out on the lawn and look up at the blue sky (not the sun) and talk about the clouds and what shapes they make.
- BLUE Discovery Box: Go on a ‘blue treasure hunt’ around the house with a box and fill it with as many blue things as you can find. A box filled with so many ‘blue’ treasures to pull out to touch and feel, smell, listen to, look at and explore.
- Make cupcakes or cookies: Cook cupcakes together and decorate them with BLUE smarties only. The fun part is separating the BLUE ones to the other colours!
- Read books: Choose books that have BLUE pictures in them and point them out but also mentioning the other colours too.
A great blue book that ties in well with the fish stamping activity is Rainbow Fish by Marcus PFister - Sing Songs about the colour blue: You can basically take any song and replace some words with the colour blue. Why not make up your own song or chant with the word blue?

Speech therapist: Oh, look who is meeting us? Hello!
Teacher-psychologist: Hello! I am the Queen of the Blue Country and I love everything blue. In my country, everything is blue! Blue is one of the primary colors. It cannot be obtained by mixing any other colors. In nature, blue is the sky and the sea. People can admire the azure sky and the deep blue of the ocean for a long time. Maybe that's why the blue color has been a symbol of beauty and tranquility since ancient times. But apart from the sky and the sea, nature rarely gives us blue. There is not so much blue in nature, in any case, it is much less than red, white and yellow.
Speech therapist: Let's listen to the "blue" song and look at the "Blue Country"

Blue Blue River runs into the distance, the blue sea behind the Blue Mountain,
Blue Swells swim in the sea of whales. A blue whale waving its tail at us,
The blue bird flies from a height The blue waves are his home.
Blue whale in the blue sea. You and I draw the sea:
In the blue sky, a cloud sleeps. Here is a boat in the open,
On a blue plate Here is a star at the bottom lies,
Blue plums in a mountain. Here - the fountain lets the whale ...
Let's take a blue jacket Waves and a whale back
And we'll go for a walk with you. We will color it blue.
If the cloud suddenly wakes up,
Blue rain will fall on us!

And in the middle - sweet.

Development Program in the DDC "Shaluna"
in the children's center "Saluna" We work under the program for the education, education and development of children "Rainaign" , , , authors T. N. Doronova, V. V. Gerbova, T. I. Grizik. The program ensures the comprehensive development of the child, its most important components are play and physical development, the formation of the habit of a healthy lifestyle, and the provision of mental comfort for each child. In "Rainbow" for the first time the task of creating in kindergarten an atmosphere of psychological comfort for children, conditions for a joyful and meaningful living of the period of preschool childhood was voiced, for the first time a system of personality-oriented education and development of children was proposed.
"Rainbow" includes seven most important types of children's activities and classes, in the process of which the upbringing and development of the child's personality takes place:
red color - physical culture order, cultural and hygienic skills;
orange color - game: it allows you to provide psychological comfort, create an atmosphere of emotional warmth, security, remove excessive organization and neuroticism in children.
It allows a feeling of sympathy and interest in a playmate to arise;
yellow color - visual activity and manual labor: - visual activity and artistic labor are taught through joint creative activity of adults with children. Children are taught to draw with pencils and paints, fingers, modeling, applications;
green color - construction: gives an opportunity to develop the imagination, fantasy and mentally educate the baby; children learn to build from building materials, develop constructive prerequisites, join the process of creativity in design;
blue color - musical and plastic arts lessons: allow to develop aesthetic experiences, form interest in music, develop musical and sensory abilities of the child, the ability to move to the beat, spatial coordination;
blue color - classes for the development of speech and familiarization with the environment: teaching the native language takes place through familiarization with works of folk art, fiction;
purple color - mathematics: Mathematics is taught in an atmosphere of goodwill and support for the child.
We conduct all classes in a playful way and we can combine several types of activities, which does not tire the kids, but contributes to the manifestation of persistent interest. When building classes, we use a flexible form of conduct: place in the daily routine, duration of classes, take into account the age and individual characteristics of children. Our kids are young children and the main thing we have to teach them is to teach them to communicate and interact with adults and children.
Accompanying the whole day with nursery rhymes, poems, songs, jokes, we help every kid to live happily every minute of the day with an adult. Regime moments are fun and the kids quickly get used to them.
