Talking to my next door neighbor who also has a little boy Keith's age I learned she was having the same problems. Particularly with colors. Evidently both our boys knew their colors, but liked to guess to frustrate us, guessing every color but the correct one when we asked "What color is that?"
To remedy the problem I started quizzing him with M&Ms. He was catching on wonderfully, but my neighbor and I decided to join forces and teach our sons together.
And that is how our little preschool was started.
Yesterday was Green Day. They had so much fun playing with each other. Keith's favorite part was drawing with green shaving cream.
Last week we did Orange day, but I forgot to take pictures. At any rate, it was a smash hit, and more importantly, they now know the colors of green and orange very well.

I still do this with our youngest Grand. I think she messes up on purpose, too! ha!
Have you seen the Alpha-Bit cereal boxes in at Target?
I bought several boxes to help her with her ABC's and she is having a great time with them.
If you can't find them there, let me know and I'll send you a few!
How fun! So nice to have a group like that.
it's so fun. good on you two for coming up with this great idea!
My son would not do the shaving cream idea. Personally I love it. All three of my kids are weird about touching things that make their hands messy. hahaha.
How cool are you guys! That is super fun
