Even though it's warm and sunny, I frequently have a lot of
parents who are looking for a fun and education activity on a rainy day.

| Seeger's Green is a great book for vocabulary building |
I like to suggest pairing Laura Vaccaro Seeger's Green with
some free paint swatches from a home improvement store.
Seeger's book is filled with large, beautifully images that show
different shades of green. Some are simple:
 |
| Laser-cut holes (the Luna moth) hint at colors on the next page. |
Some are complex:
 |
| "Faded" is a great two syllable word. What else do we see that's faded? |
And some
are zany:
 |
| What animal is this? Are Zebras white and green? Where have we seen zebras before? So many great conversations are started on this page! |
Get some free green paint
swatches from your local home improvement store and have your kids or library
group compare the colors. Which greens match the colors in the book? Which
greens are bright? Which greens are dark? It's a fun activity that builds language
and observational skills for Preschoolers!
