punch a row of holes about 1 inch in from the fold. Then open the shapes and
let the children lace white yarn through the holes.
Brown
Collages - Give your children pieces of brown construction paper or

Games
and Activities
Brown
Walk - Take a walk to look for things that are brown (dogs, birds,
cars, houses, tree trunks, etc.)
Brown Foods List - Make a chart
listing the foods that are Brown/taste some.
Stringing Brown Things - String
brown buttons or beads on brown yarn to make necklaces
Brown
Scavenger Hunt - Plan a scavenger hunt for objects that are brown.
Brown Rice - Tint rice with brown
food coloring to use for sandbox play. Add brown animals.
Brown
Bandages - A few days in advance of this activity, ask you children to
bring brown stuffed animals to school. On the appointed day, let them bring
their animals to circle time. (provide extras, for
those who forgot or don’t have one.) Invite the children to pretend that they
have brought their animals to the veterinarian. Give a brown bandage to each
child. Have each child in turn tell why his or her animal needs to see the vet,
then let them put a brown bandage on their brown pet while the group says the
following poem, substituting the child’s name for Alec.
Make the Owie Go Away
Alec’s brown animal has a boo-boo.
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo.
He’ll put on a brown bandage
And make the owie go away.
Basket Full
of Brown - Display a large brown basket labeled “Brown”. Put many classroom
items and household items into a brown grocery bag. (Avoid including items that
have both brown and other colors on them.) Have each of your children in turn
reach into the bag and choose an item without looking. Have them examine their
items. If it is brown, have them put it into the brown basket. If it is not
brown, have them put in on the floor. After all the brown items have been
found, spill out the basket’s contents and count them. How many brown items do
you have? Extension: place the basket and items in a learning center so your
children can repeat the activity.
Brown
Suitcase - Pack a brown suitcase with brown items. Open the suitcase and
explore the items with your children. How are the items the same? (they are all brown). Have the children think of other brown
things that might go in the suitcase. Discuss whether the items would fit in
the suitcase. Would a chocolate bar fit? Would a horse?
Nature’s
Brown - Before circle time (that day or the day before) give each of
your children a brown bag. Go on a nature walk and encourage the children to
collect nature items in their brown bags. Remind them to pick up things that
have fallen on the ground, and not to pick flowers or pull leaves from shrubs
or trees. At circle time, have the children examine their items and return to the
bags all items that are not brown, leaving only brown items on the floor in
front of themselves. Explore these items and discuss the variety of brown
things we find in nature, seeds, twigs, dry leaves, and so forth.
Things That
Are Brown - Let your children play with these brown items: playdo, mud, chocolate pudding.
Brown Nut Sort
- Set out a large bowl of mixed unshelled nuts, such as almonds,
walnuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, and hazel nuts. On a large piece of cardboard,
use a marker to draw five vertical columns. At the top of each column, glue one
of the different kinds of nuts from the bowl. Then let your children sort the
rest of the nuts by matching them to the nuts on the cardboard and placing them
in the appropriate columns.
WHAT'S IN
THE BROWN BAG - Send each of your children home with a small brown paper bag
and a note asking parents to help the child find a brown item to put inside it.
At circle time, let each child have a turn giving clues about what's inside his
or her bag as the others try to guess the answer. (Have a few brown items on
hand for any children who might need them.)
BROWN
PICTURE BOOK FUN - Select a picture book that your group likes.
Read the book to the children, pausing to show them the illustrations. As they
look at each one, ask them to point to and name any brown items they can spot
in the picture. Continue as long as interest lasts.
BROWN NATURE
DISPLAY - Take your group on a walk to collect brown nature items, such
as pine cones, twigs, leaves, bark, seeds, nutshells, and dried grasses. Or
bring in a variety of brown nature items yourself. Help the children sort the
items into like groups on a large square of brown cardboard and glue the items
in place. Then label each group of items and display the square in your science
corner.
Act
out Brown Bear or The Gingerbread Man.

Elephant Monkey Choco-Delight
1 medium
banana
1 cup milk
1 cup chocolate ice cream
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Peel banana and, with a table knife, cut into 1-inch pieces. Place pieces in a
plastic freezer bag or wrap in foil; freeze for at least 2 hours. Unwrap banana pieces and place in blender container with
milk, chocolate ice cream, and peanut butter. Cover and blend until smooth,
stopping blender and scraping down sides, if needed. Makes 3 servings.
Chocolate "Clay"
Important note: Adult supervision and participation is required
for this activity. Also maybe a few words on why you can eat THIS clay but not
other "non-edibles"!!
10 ounces of chocolate (chopped chunks or chips)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
Note: the chocolate can be substituted with almond bark, or colored candy disks
to create different colored flowers
Melt the chocolate in a microwave for 1 minute. Stir.
If chocolate is not completely melted, return to the microwave for 30 seconds
at a time and stir until smooth. If you don't have a
microwave, place the chocolate in the top of a double broiler over hot water
and stir until melted. When the
chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and blend.
Pour the mixture onto a waxed paper sheet. Spread the chocolate with your
fingers until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Cover loosely with waxed paper and let
it stiffen for at least a couple hours or overnight. The chocolate will become
very pliable.
Making a Chocolate Rose:
Have the kids roll 10 marble-sized balls out of the chocolate clay. Place the
balls on a waxed paper sheet, about 1 inch apart. Place another waxed paper sheet
on top. Big or little thumbs can press each marble into a flat disk (about the
size of a quarter). Use some pressure!
To form the rose:
Remove 1 disk and curl it into a "teepee" shape, narrow at the top
and wider at the bottom. Wrap the next disk around the opening of the teepee
and the third disk at the back of the teepee. This is the rose bud. Continue
adding disks which will look like petals. Continue to layer them to create a
rose in bloom. They will harden after a few days and can be saved by storing in
a cool, dry place. Since this recipe is the consistency of modeling clay, you
can mold any shape you want.

vanilla wafer and then a bit of tinted coconut. Place a Keebler cookie on top
of that with a little bit of frosting and cover with flat side of another
