Color Poems
Have you ever heard of a color poem? Color poems connect out of the box ideas and exercises in thinking and writing in a simplistic way that kids enjoy. Color poems have a format that allow your child to explore the color through all five senses. Your child will have to decide how a color sounds, looks, smells, feels, and tastes. Soon your child will easily think of ways to fill in the color poems on her own.
