I was inspired with this idea after seeing similar ideas on Chasing Cheerios and I think Make and Takes.
They put the paint samples onto clothes pens and a cup and let them match it that way. I didn't have that many clothes pens. I tried to find a swatch for each of the 12 colors we are working on in preschool.
So Joel enjoyed catching the colors and putting them into a bag while I cut them out.
Then we put them out for him to match. Color side up for now. He really enjoyed it, but this corner was a little dark, so he had trouble with many of the colors. The next day I caught him playing it on the table with Kendra, and he was getting the colors connected much easier ... what a big difference a little light makes.
But lights on and sun coming through the windows will increase the temperature of this trailer anywhere from 4 - 10 degrees. And 80 degrees is much preferred to 90, and much easier to get cool later in the evening. Plus the girls room will be another 4 - 10 degrees hotter still because their is only one AC vent to their room - and the dryer vent was cut out of the AC tube to accommodate the dryer vent! So they end up with a lot of cold or hot and dust in their room - and humidity.
But still, it is better than our arrangements 5 years ago. We just need to do more decluttering!
