A GROWN-UP PROMPT

“What else do you notice in that color?”

A note for grown-ups

  • Stay together outdoors. An adult should decide what is safe to touch or collect; leave unknown plants and fungi where they are.

Simple adaptations

  • Begin with two colors in one safe spot; point to a matching color when collecting an item is not useful.
