I'm a nursery nurse and I need help with our colour topic in my nursery this month?

Question

I'm trying to think of things that are naturally blue for the children to collage but I'm having a mind blank. For example for green i've used a frog, tree and apple. Can anyone help. Thanks

Answer 1

The Sea...The sky...although that's debatable. A 5 pound Note???
A Blueberry.

Answer 2

OK here is the problem... why does the sky or ocean have to be blue??? Children at this age need to be able to paint the ocean red and have the right to call it an ocean.

Also, shouldnt the students think of things to collage?? What is the point of the learning engagment? Let the students think abstractly about the color blue and find thier own images or create their own images.

It sounds like this art lesson is boring and product centered. You should create an activity that focuses on the process instead.
If you do a monthly theme and this month is blue then please try to find something meaningfu and worthwhile for the students.

There's always the blue mountains of Virginia, but actually you should be getting them to do it themselves or they will not learn investigating and creating skills.
