**Color Word Cards**                                            **Color Cards**


To use this for a fireman activity, use only black spots to make a Dalmatian.

Take a large envelope and lick it shut.  Cut it in half.  Give the children white
 paper scraps.  Have them cut out ears and glue them to the dog.  Take a marker and add eyes, nose and a mouth.  Hole punch two holes at the corner of the envelope.  Lace a piece of yarn through the holes and tie
to make a necklace.  Give your children paper scraps and a circle paper punch
like the one shown below.
 Have them punch colored circles and glue them to the dog. 

To extend this into a literacy activity choose one of the following.

If you are working with older children, print the color word cards for them.
 Have them cut them apart and practice reading the words.  Once done,
have the children put the words in the envelope part of the necklace.

If you are working with younger children, print the color cards.  Have the children color the words the indicated color.  Have them cut them apart. 
Then have them review the cards.  Once done, have the children put the cards in the envelope part of the necklace.

Encourage the children to wear the necklace home.  Encourage the children to practice reading/saying the words/colors name to their family.
