The White Song
I know a color that looks like snow
can you tell me what it's name is?
W-H-I-T-E, W-H-I-T-E, W-H-I-T-E
the color is called white.
White Color Song
(Tune: If you're Happy and You Know It)
If there's white on your shoes stand up quick
If there's white on your shoes stand up quick
If there's white on your shoes,
If there's white on your shoes,
If there's white on your shoes stand up quick!
Of course you can change the article of clothing and the action you do to
extend the song or to include others that have white somewhere else.)

Arts
and Crafts
Use cotton balls,
dollies, and white buttons to make a White on White Collage.
Whip
Ivory Snow powder with water until the mixture is soft and fluffy. Let the kids
finger-paint with the soap mixture on sheets of heavy white paper or tagboard.
While the mixture is still wet, let them add Styrofoam packing pieces for
snowflakes and cotton balls for clouds. Then let them sprinkle on glitter to
add sparkle to their snow scenes.
Snow
Scene
Give each
child a sheet of pale blue construction paper and styrofoam
packaging chips. Let them create a winter scene. These turn out to be lovely
three dimensional projects.
Paint
with Salt
I give each
child a small dixie cup 1/2 full of white tempera paint.
I allow the child to spoon in as much table salt as they want and mix it into
their paint. Next they take a piece of colored paper and paint anything they
want on the paper. When dry the paint will have a rough texture and sparkle
from the salt. As the children paint with this salt mixture they LOVE the
gritty, bumpy, noisy texture and sounds that occur. Some will paint
designs....but most enjoy it so much they paint the entire paper white. Any
extra paint that is left I pour together in a larger paint cup and place it at
the easel.
Snowstorm
Art
Material:
liquid starch or glue, brush or q-tips, construction paper, rice
1. Generously brush starch or glue onto paper
2. Sprinkle rice on paper
3. Shake off excess
Sparkle Snow
Paint
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water
Mix together and put in a squeeze bottle. Squeeze doughy paint out
on to black construction paper. Make anything snowy, snowflakes, snowmen, - we
made snow covered mountains with the moon and northern lights. Let dry
thoroughly and it will sparkle. May also be painted (when dry) and allowed to
dry again. This is a great 3 dimensional effect for snow.
White
On White
Create a snowy
day picture by using only white materials. Give each child a styrofoam
tray to be used as a base for the picture. Provide an assortment of white
material (cotton balls, white string, rice, white
straws) to glue on to the tray to create snow day scene.
An idea for
the color white would be: Get a large piece of black paper or any dark color....have the children make a white collage---use
various items such as--q-tips, cotton balls, marshmallows, etc.
Water
Color Surprise
Put out white
paper, water colors, paint brushes, water cups & masking tape. The teacher
rips off different lengths of masking tape & sticks it to the edge of the
table. The children take these masking tape strips and tape them any way they
want on their white construction paper. (I have had children just randomly lay
the tape down and I have had children form the tape into letters and create
their entire name. Whatever they come up with is fine.) Once they have taped
down all the tape that they want, I tell them to watercolor their entire
paper....tape & all. It is important that they paint the entire
paper...otherwise the results are disappointing. When done we hang them up to
dry. On another day I lift up the edges of the pieces of tape and then call the
children to the table. I tell them to CAREFULLY pull their masking tape pieces
off of their pictures. What appears?.....the WHITE
spaces that were hiding under the masking tape that did not get painted. These
are very striking, a fun surprise for the children & we always talk about
HOW did this happen!!
Finely
grate one bar Ivory soap. Mix the grated soap with one cup of water and
one tablespoon glycerine. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until peaks
form. The soap snow can then be used in many ways.
Kiddie Candles
Help the children melt a white crayon and a colored
crayon on a warming tray. Pour into a soap or candle mold. Let cool. Now the
children made there own pastel crayons. This is a good opportunity to teach the
children that white, mixed with other colors, blends to a lighter shade of the
original color (pastels!).
WHITE
NECKLACES
From white tissue paper or other paper, cut out small
shapes, such as circles or squares. Punch a hole in the middle of each shape.
Then let your children string the shapes on pieces of white yarn to make
necklaces.
Cool
Whip Fingerpaint
Have kids use
Cool Whip to fingerpaint with. A fun, sweet, and sensory activity. They can even eat the leftovers!
Games
and Activities
Large Motor
Use cotton balls and plastic spoons to pretend to shovel, carry,
scoop, etc. Then run, hop, and scoop it up. Try blowing the cottonballs across
the floor with their own air.
White Riddles
Challenge your children to solve the following riddles. Give one
clue at a time and the let children guess before offering the next clue.
1. I’m white. I’m cold. I’m round. I’m made of snow. (A snowball).
2. I’m white. I’m fluffy. I float around high in the sky. (A
cloud)
3. I’m white. You pop me in a pan or an oven. I’m tasty with
butter and salt. (popcorn)
4. I’m white. I’m cold, I’m sweet to eat
in a cone. (Vanilla ice cream).
Where Is It
White?
Gather a number of items that are white on the outside and/or
white on the inside. Possibilities include a hard cooked brown shelled egg, a
hard cooked white shelled egg, a white crayon, an apple, a cotton ball and an
envelop. Have your children examine each item and tell whether it is white on
the outside. Set aside the items that are not white on the outside. Then ask
the children to tell you whether the items are white on the inside. How can
they find out? Can they think of others items that are white on the inside or
outside?
White on White
Pass a roll of white toilet tissue around the circle and have each
of your children tear off one square to place on the floor. Now pass around a white
basket or plastic bin containing small items, some white and others not white.
Let each child select a white item to place on his or her white square. Include
enough white items for every child to find one.
White Web
Hold on to the loose end of a ball of white yarn and roll it to
one of your children who is wearing white. Have that
child grab the yarn and roll the rest of the yarn ball to another child who is
wearing white. Continue while interest lasts. Then examine the white web you’ve
constructed.
Snowflake
Investigations
Take a magnifying glass outside to observe the snowflakes on a
dark coat or on dark paper.
Sensory table
Fill your sensory table with white packing foam pieces and
confetti. Or..... if it snows
where you teach, bring in a couple of buckets of snow; put the buckets in the
sensory table and have children "color" the snow. Use paintbrushes
and food coloring.
Sensory Ideas
salt/sugar/flour/icing sugar,
styroafoam balls, white yarn, streamers, white paper shredded up (Let children
use scissors to cut it up),snow in the winter time, white finger paint.
Colored Ghosts
Once there was a WHITE ghost named __________ who was very hungry.
He looked in the refrigerator and found a banana. He ate it and turned YELLOW.
The ghost was still hungry so he ate an apple and he turned RED.
The ghost became very thirsty so he drank some chocolate milk and
he turned BROWN.
The ghost really liked vegetables so he ate a carrot and turned
The ghost was tired after eating so much food that he thought he
would have one more drink so he drank some milk and he turned WHITE once again.
This flannel board story can be as short or as long as you like.
Just change the ghost every time he eats some food. Have the children say the
color that the ghost changes into.

On a tray,
place several white items, such as a piece of chalk, a cotton ball, an
envelope, a facial tissue, and a sugar cube. Allow your children to examine
the items for a minute or two. Then cover the tray with a white cloth and
have the children try to name the items from memory. Or secretly remove one
item and ask the children to tell you which one is missing. LAUNDRY TIME MARY'S

Colored Polar Bear Story & Activity
Contributed by KinderKorner
subscriber Renate from
Once upon a
time there was a beautiful white polar bear who often visited
the St. Lawrence Island in
schoolhouse filled with many boys
and girls and their beloved teacher,
Ms. Andrews.
It seems as
though a neighboring child from
across the
and she had beautiful golden hair.
As she explored the island, she soon
met Mr. Polar Bear.
The children
watched out the windows of the
schoolhouse as the bear wished he
had golden hair like Tatiana's. He shut
his eyes tightly and wished very
hard for golden hair.
Now will you
just shut your eyes for a moment
and help polar bear make his wish?
(Teacher puts 2 drops of
yellow food coloring in bear bottle)
Now you may open your eyes!
AMAZING!
A blond polar bear- Oh, my
goodness!
Do you know
what the children
shouted out the windows of the
schoolhouse? Do you think they liked a BLOND
polar bear?
Teacher gets
children to slap, slap, clap, clap, and snap and say:
POLAR BEAR, POLAR BEAR
YOU ARE A SIGHT!
YOUR COLOR WAS RIGHT
WHEN YOU WERE WHITE!
Mr. Polar
Bear was MIGHTY SAD! He thought the children would like his
new golden color! He climbed on an
iceberg and began to think about his
problem.
Now, as Mr.
Bear rested, he caught a new scent in the air. What did
he smell? As he raised his head and
looked around, he saw a young boy coming closer.
Rene was from
the GREEN forests of
green sweater, green pants, and
green boots. Guess what he had in his
pocket? Rene had a GREEN lollipop!
Polar Bear thought GREEN must be the most beautiful color in the world! Maybe
he should be a green bear. He
shut his eyes and began to wish he
was green. Can you help Mr. Bear?
(Teacher puts
2 drops of blue in)
Now he was a GREEN polar
bear!! But the children said:
(slap,slap...repeat
chant above)
Now this made
Mr. Bear feel real bad. He pouted and pouted. Polar
bear began to walk across the
snow. As he topped a big snow drift, he met
COUSIN BROWN BEAR from
The two bears
had a nice,long
visit and before long, Polar Bear
began to admire his SMART
COUSIN. The Kodiak Bear is the world's largest bear and gets angry very
quickly. Polar Bear thinks
maybe the children would like him if he were brown
instead. Let's
shut our eyes and wish with Polar Bear.
(Teacher adds
2 drops of red, and children repeat chant above)
Polar Bear
felt so bad, he ran away from the children and dove in the ice
cold waters of the
bears. His thick, heavy fur was
now BROWN and looked quite strange as the
children of Gambel watched him
swim DEEP, DEEP, DEEP into the sea.
Now, if you
will just shut your eyes
and think about Polar Bear
swimming around under the cold, cold water, a
tiny bit of
(Teacher
bleaches the water, while their eyes are closed, and continues to talk
about polar bear swimming while
the bleach takes effect)
Polar Bear
swims up, up, up, up, to the surface and guess what!
Children
chant:
POLAR BEAR, POLAR BEAR
Your color IS right!
WE LOVE YOU!
WE LOVE YOU!
YOU ARE WHITE!
Polar Bear
decided NEVER to change his color again. After all, polar
bears are supposed to be WHITE,
RIGHT?
The End
I use a honey
bottle that's shaped like a bear I got from the grocery store. I sit at a table
and have the children sit on the floor in front of the
table. I put the bear bottle (filled about an inch from the top with water), in front of a white board and put my magic (food
coloring and bleach) behind the board. Even if the kids watch you put in the
food coloring, it's still "magic" to them,
because you make green by adding blue to yellow, etc. My kids always love it,
and they learn alot about bears and some geography at the same time!
I hope your kiddos enjoy it as
well.
