Color My World Series #5 ~ Blue. Introducing the Color Blue into Daily Activities.

What do you envision when you think of the color blue? The sky? The ocean? Juicy blueberries? This month, we’ll be taking a look at the color blue.

The color blue is such a fun color. There aren’t as many blue fruits & vegetables as the other colors, but blueberries are SO good.  If it’s warm out, maybe you can go berry picking! Or if the weather is colder, have an indoor picnic.
