P-u-r-p-l-e (Tune: I've Been Working on the Railroad)
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple, purple,
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple's what that spells.
Purple grapes on the vine,
Purple Kool-Aid's fine
P-u-r-p-l-e
Purple's what that spells.

We Love Purple(Tune: Frere Jacques)
We love purple, we love purple.
Yes, we do. Yes, we do.
Purple grapes and eggplant,
Purple plums and grape juice,
Just for me, just for you.

Red and Blue
Red and blue, red and blue,
Mix them and find something new.
Purple like a fresh ripe plum,
Purple like a poor sore thumb,
Red and blue, red and Blue,
Mix them and find something new.

  (Tune: Do You Know the Muffin Man?)

  Oh, can you find the color purple,

  The color purple, the color purple?

  Oh, can you find the color purple

  Somewhere in this room?

  Purple Cow

  I never saw a Purple Cow.

  I never hope to see one.
  

  But I can tell you, anyhow,

  I’d rather see than be one!

  PURPLE SCIENCE
  MAKING PURPLE Credit Jean Warren Preschool Express	What happens when red and blue are mixed together? Try these experiments with your children to find out. Use food coloring to make red and blue ice cubes in a clean plastic-foam egg carton. Drop one red and one blue ice cube into a glass of water and wait for a new color to appear. Squeeze drops of red and blue food coloring into a clear plastic bottle of water. Fasten the cap securely, then roll the bottle to blend the colors and create purple. Give each child a small ball of red play dough and blue play dough. Have them squeeze the dough together until the color of the dough in their hand changes to purple.
