•Sky colouring / painting / chalk / watercolour over crayon ... add fluffy white clouds and a golden yellow sun (if you can remember what it looks like!)

•Liaise with the parents so children wear something blue... make sure you have spares for those who forget

•Try blueberries for snack and make blueberry muffins

•Put ‘bluebell woods’ into Google images and enjoy the pictures

•Go round the house looking for blue things to collect in a blue bag – use them like a heuristic play session for the little ones, letting children think of different things they can do with each item

•Dye some pasta using blue food colouring and use it to make a necklace

•Water... fish...

•Play with green and yellow paint using fingers, brushes, sticks etc to mix to blue

•Think about shades of blue ... dark, navy, light, mid, blue/green etc.

•Listen to some blues music or the Blues Brothers is good for a bop...

•Or maybe Elton John’s ‘Guess that’s why they call it the blues’ –
