Take children on a sensory walk around your school grounds. Introduce the idea that they are going to explore their local area using their senses. A colour catcher for each child.
Colour catchers are simply strips of black card with double sided tape on.
Introduce the seven colours of the rainbow to the children. Challenge them to find all seven colours of the rainbow by using their eyes to look for colours in the surrounding environment. Once children are ready they can remove the protective strip to start collecting the colours. Encourage them only to take small pieces of leaf or petal, or to share their colours if they find a bigger leaf. Encourage children to use their sense of smell to collect different pieces of plants in their canister.
