Today’s felt project is a cute little paint and palette set that is perfect for teaching colors or pretend play. Pieces are backed with stiff felt so you can use the paintbrush as a pointer and slip the palette over your thumb to use it as a mini lap board…I love making things so they are interchangeable so you can use them for multiple purposes!

This set can be found in my Etsy shop, or Amazon Prime members can order online and get free shipping!

Teaching Idea: Sing a song about colors. Use the paintbrush as a pointer as you point out the different colors in the song.

Sing to the tune of “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”

Red, yellow, green and blue, green and blue
Red, yellow, green and blue, green and blue
Purple, orange, brown and black
Red, yellow, green and blue, green and blue.

BONUS: Add little colored circles and the paint blobs become flowers!
