This is a science center activity where children match hues of color. I collect the free paint sample cards from the hardware store with a pair of each color. Children find the matching hues of each color.
Just a little terminology: A color hue means a variation of a color, where white or black or another color has been added to it. A tint of a color is a lighter variation, where white has been added to it (in other words, pale hues). A shade of a color is a darker variation, where black has been added to it (darker hues).

Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.
Thanks for the infomation. This is my first year teaching. I teach headstart so I come to this website a lot to get ideas for different lesson plans. I have three year old children i would like for them to know how to spell their names by the end of the year but my mentor teacher is telling me that it is too advance for them. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I also teach Head Start and I also have the three year old classroom. By the end of the year my children know how to spell their names and also some know how to print their names. You have to know your children. It is not to early to start them recognizing the letters in their names. I have been doing this for almost thirty years and believe me three year olds are capable of learning to spell their names.
