Home Enrichment, Activity 6: Food Color Wheels!

March 27, 2020 Sara Hartery

Become a kitchen explorer and fill out this fun color wheel! This is the perfect activity for a rainy day at home. Simply print out the color wheel chart, grab something to write with, and start exploring your pantry. Try to fill out each slice of the color wheel with different food groups (e.g. produce, grains, meats, etc.). This activity helps expand both food exposure and language in a fun, hands-on way!

 

Speech and Language Connections

Articulation – try to target the speech sounds your child is working on in therapy by using the colors or the food items. For example, if your child is working on the /k/ sound, you can practice “color,” “carrot,” “bacon,” “pink,” and more!

Basic concepts – promote color learning by sorting the items on to your counter. Be sure to say each color label as much as possible to promote generalization! 

Expressive language – increase expressive vocabulary by practicing food item labels that may not be so common on your child’s plate.

Following directions – have your child help you rearrange the items back in your pantry. You can work on 1-2 step directions or prepositional concepts (e.g. “Put the pasta behind the rice.”).
