A fun way to teach colours

Here is a lovely paper heart garland from spearmint baby.  It is super easy to make and you can modify the garland by using different shapes eg. hearts, stars, circles, squares etc. 

You can teach children about:

• all the different colours including shades such as 'dark blue' vs 'light blue'
• how colours are made from our primary colours red, blue & yellow
• different shapes
• different sizes eg. small, medium, big

Things you will need:

- A trip to the local hardware shop to collect the cards from the paint section

- Shape punchers

- Needle and thread

Enjoy!
