A little wisdom from the treehouse

A Quiet Word From Grandpa Wise

Colour is everywhere, once you go looking.

Grandpa Wise, a wise old owl

Grandpa Wise says

You don't need a craft cupboard or a plan. A single question — 'can you find me something red?' — can turn your whole home into a game for twenty minutes.

The Colour Hunt

Time15 minutes You'll needNothing at all

Name a colour and send them off to bring back something that matches. Line the finds up on the table like a little rainbow. Then let them choose the next colour and send YOU hunting — being the one who gives the orders is half the fun.

Why it works: Colour names, memory, and happy independent scurrying.
