This book is helpful when mixing colors. A boy imagines how it would be to play with his own rainbow. Cut the inside of the lid out and tie the ribbons, one at a time, onto the lid. Leave a space where the child can hold on to it. Swirl it around, dance with it, whatever you like.
Children glue a cupcake liner on paper to represent a flower.
Help them to pull it apart and spray perfume on it. Begin collecting various sizes of small bottles with lids. Try to get bottles that once had perfume, soap, or another nice smell in it. Rinse them out then return the lids immediately preserving the smells. Cut small decorative holes in the boxes large enough for smelling.
