Read the story "The Blue Balloon" by Inkpen. Then give the children a piece of blue paper, have them cut out what their blue balloon turned into, and take dictation. 

After reading the story, "The Blue Ribbon Puppy", the children dictate what they are the best at and draw it.  Each picture then gets a blue ribbon.
