We did a flower themed circle time activity similar to "brown bear ... brown bear what do you see?". I showed the children each of the flowers one at a time and told them what color it was. When you do the following activity you can start with any color that you wish. There is no particular order the flower colors.
After we finished reviewing the colors I picked the red flower and held it up so all of the children could see.
red flower ... red flower what do you see?
I see a blue flower looking at me. (hold up blue flower and remove red)
blue flower ... blue flower what do you see?
I see a green flower looking at me. (hold up green flower and remove blue)
green flower ... green flower what do you see?
I see a black flower looking at me. (hold up black flower and remove green)
Continue until you have gone through all of the colors. When you hold the last flower up say "I see all of the color flowers looking at me".

You can find the flower patterns here. I printed them on cardstock paper ... laminated them and glue them to craft sticks but you do not have to. You can attach magnets to the back and use on a magnetic board ... you could also attach velcro or masking tape to the back and use on a felt board.
I love using props at circle time so be on the look out for more goodies soon!!
