Beginning with the phrase “Today I saw something red,” have the child describe various items they’ve spotted in different colors throughout the day or week.

This prompt allows children to exercise observation and awareness skills. Moreover, it initiates a discussion about colors, their role in our world, and the emotional or subjective associations they evoke. In tracing a ‘rainbow’ through their daily observations, children cultivate mindfulness and creativity.
