The ocean is blue. Fish can be circles. You can knock out triangles as the fins too.

When you are teaching the color blue, as a class, go on a blue treasure hunt around the room and look for blue objects. Maybe you want each student to find one blue object. You might even bring in some special blue objects and hide them around the room. See how many objects the class can collect. Then, at circle, make a list of blue things that have been found and write them on the board or a sheet of paper. If you need to add more things to your list ask the kids to come up with some other things that are blue.

Use blue paint mixed with a little white paint, a little red, a little green and so on to make different shades of blue that the preschoolers can paint with. Have your list of blue things available so that your preschoolers have some ideas of what they can be painting. You could have them draw one or two blue things in more detail or have them add as many blue things to their picture as they can fit. You could also use some large sheets of paper and paint a picture together as a class.

Sing songs about the color blue. Little boy blue is a good song to teach when learning about the color blue.

Have blue snacks such as blueberries, blue popsicles, blue fruit snacks, blueberry muffins, etc.

Have a blue day, where everyone wears something blue. Have some extra blue bracelets, shirts, hats or other clothing ready for those kids who forget!

you can color code the circles and use seriation (sizes of circles) you can say the colors of the circles in Spanish also red rojo, green verde, and blue azul for the children and large, medium, and small. You can also do the show me way during rug time have the colors cut up maybe a little larger and ask your assistant teacher to put the colors on the rug then ask the children for example Jane can you show me the large blue circle? You can use the envronment as well things in the classroom which are blue attach a blue circle on the bulletin board, ask the children who are wearing blue to please stand up. maybe, you can wear blue also and the children will stay to you you did not stand up. If the classroom has blue chairs use this also. you can also teach them the word circle in spanish circlo. you also can the circles for the song blue stand up, red stand up, yellow stand up etc. Song by Greg and Steve. You can just sing the song. Children can have on the easel only blue paint and ask them what color are you using? Good Luck! blue claydough also.

Some people have mentioned painting which is fun. I always liked painting with potatoes (cit a potato in half dip it in the paint then put it on the paper. You can also have them play with cars. The wheels are circles. Have them run the cars through blue paint and then onto the paper.

You can do a draw and tell story that has circles http://eslcarissa.blogspot.mx/2012/06/tell-and-dra... (students enjoy guessing) use blue chalk on the chalkboard if you can.

You can draw a dog using circles (http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Cartoon-Dog) then give them the circles (Pre-cut) with the designs on them and see if they can re-make the dog (using paste to paste the dog on the paper) it's easier than having them re-draw it.

Do they know any other colors and shapes? If so you can put them on the board and play flyswatter http://eslcarissa.blogspot.mx/2012/09/flyswatter.h...

I'd have them make ornaments (cut out circles glue or tape paperclips to the back) since Christmas is coming, but not sure if your school would allow that.

Have fun!

Can't feel of a ebook off the highest of my head. Sad considering the fact that there are such a lot of. However I do have a few random artwork projects. You can do half of sheets of white paper and let the youngsters cut strips of black. Let them clue the black strips onto the white and you have got an summary zebra. You are able to do the equal for tigers, or even do giraffe spots. You could also create a couple of giraffe necks and label them each and every with a quantity 1-5 or nevertheless high you need to depend. Then have the students put the correct amount of dots per neck.
