Students draw a simple picture using the 8 basic colors. These colors should include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown, purple and black. The teacher should identify the colors in their native language on the student’s drawing. When everyone has returned the pictures we will display this on the web site. Teachers then can print out the pictures from the web site to hang in their classroom. This is an easy way to incorporate multi-cultural experiences through the use of colors in an early childhood classroom.

The Crayon Exchange

To participate in the crayon exchange, be one of the first 9 international teachers of early childhood classrooms to respond via email. Then send 9 boxes of crayons from your native country to me in the United States. After I have received everyone’s crayons then I will ship back a total of 9 boxes of crayons to each of the different participants. The crayons can be used in your writing center so children can be exposed to different languages.
