This is the sixth in my series about Learning Colours, based on the animals in the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? For more information on the series, please see here.

This week we focused on the purple cat, and also on other purple crafts and activities.
Drawing and Painting with Purple I provided F with a cat picture and a variety of purple drawing tools.


Using a cat-shaped sponge we made some purple prints, which I later outlined with a marker.

Another day we did more purple painting by mixing red and blue paints.



We got all the usual tools out plus some purple cookie cutters. We made a purple cat.





Sandpaper and Felt Shape Matching Board This shape match board was quick to prepare and had some nice textural contrast. Oh, and my husband kindly provided purple sandpaper for the activity. 🙂

I painted F’s foot and pressed it onto some paper. We weren’t doing painting at the time – so I was rather catching him unawares. Sometimes it’s better that way!

I put together a container for F filled with interesting purple items. I thought that it would be pretty hard to find enough purple items but I managed!
