*Stallone Tested and Approved: This lesson has to be one of my top five’s! Stallone LOVED it, I did not once have to ask him to stay focused. Bravo! Once going through our letters, we ended the lesson matching all the colors together. It was a great practice for him to say the color egg I had held up and then for him to find its matching color! At the end, I filled a few eggs with his favorite treat and has him find it. Fun! Fun! Fun lesson!
