Nature Colour Hunts

Select various colours and look to match them with natural objects in your garden or local area or Park. Over time try changing these colours depending on the season, is there a predominant colour for each season?

Try a mix of ‘easy’ colours with more ‘difficult’ ones to keep it interesting.

For ideas on colours use paint colour cards – swatch cards - for ideas. There are often a great range of similar shades. Paint companies often have them and they are available on line.

Task 1: On a piece of card, add a row of double sided tape for each colour you have chosen and as you find things stick them in.

Task 2: Create a bracelet out of card and add double sided tape, as you find things and create a rainbow you can wear.

Task 3: Using and egg box add the colour you want to find to the bottom and when found collect them into their own compartment.

Task 4: On a piece of paper add a sample of the colours you want to find using pens or pencils – keep a tally of how many things you see.
