October 22 is National Color Day — a reminder that color isn’t just something we see, it’s something we feel. From the calm of blue skies to the cheer of bright yellow, colors shape our emotions, spark creativity, and bring joy to everyday life.
Help your kids discover the power of color and what it says about how they feel.
Ask your kids: “What color do you feel like today?” or “Which color makes you happiest?”
