outdoor color hunt

My 12 year old daughter heard this idea and thought it would be fun to do with her little sister, so we thought we'd try it. My 3 year old and I got an empty egg carton and colored the inside bottom (where the egg goes) with different colors. Keep in mind that green and brown are going to be the easiest so we did those colors more than once. Then I sent her outside with her brother and sister who helped her look all around the yard for something to go into each egg spot that matched it's color. It was a great activity! Not only was she matching colors, she was happily playing outside with her siblings for awhile! She was so proud to bring it back full and show me all the treasures they found. Definitely one we will have to play again!
