Mouse Paint FREE printables!

During the Mouse Unit, Izzie reviewed reading color words and was introduced to two sight words, "a" and "am".

Practicing writing the word "a". The homemade sandpaper letters are still a huge hit!

Cutting and pasting the word "a", then coloring the mouse the correct color by reading the color word. She really enjoyed reading the simple sentences!

Here are the cut and paste word "a" with color words on crayons worksheets...

Mouse Paint Manipulatives

My girls adore the book, Mouse Paint.

I often catch them reading this book by themselves or to each other!

I stepped out of the schoolroom, only to return a few minutes later to the above scene!
Mac retelling the story to Izzie! Priceless!

I found these amazing color paddles here.

Wow! Blue and red make purple!!
The girls had so much fun discovering how colors mix to make new colors.

Their favorite activity was the Mouse Paint story props!

Laminated, added magnets to the back, and Velcro to the front (some pieces) equals a ton of fun and a lot of learning!

And repeat! My girls spent so much time retelling the story using these story props!
